Tulsa's mayor is breathing a little easier these days. Tulsa's yo-yoing sales taxes numbers have seemed to stabilize in recent months.
Mayor Bartlett says figures have been averaging between 3 and 5% up, depending on the category. That allows more flexibility in budgeting. However the mayor wants to remain on a conservative spending path.
He says the improving figures shows that Tulsa's economy continues to improve. The city is funded with sales tax receipts.
A crash in sales tax numbers in 2010, caused city layoffs and drastic budget cuts.
