Tulsa County recently launched a refreshed and updated website at http://www.tulsacounty.org/. The previous version of the Tulsa County website had changed little since 2009.
In 2009, county leaders worked to revamp Tulsa County’s online presence to make available vast amounts of information including access to each elected office as well as county budgets, contracts, forms and meeting agendas.
It began officially on Facebook over the weekend in no surprise for most, but today Tulsa City Councilor G.T. Bynum announced he is “filing paperwork to start his campaign for Mayor of Tulsa.” In a release to local media, Bynum’s campaign listed prominent Tulsans “who have agreed to serve on his campaign steering committee.”
The group is comprised of people that hold vastly different perspectives on the approach to public policy issues at the local, state and national level. Bynum addresses this point saying, “Like Tulsa, these steering committee members represent a broad range of backgrounds and beliefs. And like Tulsa, they are ready to unite and build a better city for the people they love. I am appreciative so many have already committed to help with our campaign.”

Donald Trump, currently the leading Republican Presidential candidate, appeared on Saturday Night Live in a comedy sketch including a focus on the problem of illegal immigration. Trump’s stand on illegal immigration has been criticized by those of both parties and the press, but the problem of criminal or illegal border crossers is no joking matter.
Donald Trump is right about this: illegal immigration is one of the most serious threats to national security, American sovereignty, and economic stability, but even Trump has not yet addressed the even more serious medical dangers of illegal immigration for Americans.
Northeastern State University and Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) are partnering for a blood drive Wednesday, November 18, to help save the lives in area hospitals. The event will run from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the Broken Arrow campus.
Each donor will receive a ‘HERO’ T-shirt in recognition of the selfless act of giving. One blood donation can save as many as three lives. Yet, it typically takes only an hour to give blood, this brief act of community service can make a major, life-saving difference.
