Governor Mary Fallin
Governor Mary Fallin Wednesday commended the Senate Appropriations Committee for its bipartisan support of four bills of reforms she highlighted in her State of the State address at the start of this year’s legislative session.
“Our state prisons are filled to well over capacity so it is crucial that we make some changes to our criminal justice system,” said Fallin. “These measures do not jeopardize public safety while addressing Oklahoma’s prison population, which is among the highest in the nation. I appreciate the support of the Senate Appropriations Committee in approving these vital measures.”
The Signorelli Company, developer of The Shops at Aspen Creek in Broken Arrow has announced that construction of The Reserve at Aspen Creek, a 240-unit upscale apartment project has begun, with an early 2017 opening planned.
By any standard, the margins of victory for each of the Vision proposals were a political landslide. Three City of Tulsa propositions passed by wide margins, as did a 0.05 percent county tax and individual proposals in Owasso, Collinsville, Jenks, Glenpool and Sapulpa.
Today Tulsa County votes to fill the office of County Sheriff and to extend local infrastructure investment within the City of Tulsa and Tulsa County in separate Vision proposals.
