A new Arkansas River plan is bubbling to the surface in Tulsa. Under the plan, the city would ask voters to extend a portion of the soon-to-be-expiring Vision 2025 Sales Tax to fund river improvements.

DEWEY BARTLETT: " Our suggestion is that we strongly consider using a portion of that 6/10s that is coming up for renewal; that we use a significant portion of it to put water in the river."

Mayor Bartlett brought-up the plan at this week’s two City Hall in Your Neighborhood meetings. He also wants a portion of the tax to help fund police and fire operations.
