Although these smaller meetings may have helped set the ground rules for the upcoming public forums, the citizens of Tulsa should be completely informed about how their elected officials will get past their differences and move this great city forward. We are grateful to the Chamber in their assistance to facilitate these discussions with Mayor Bartlett." said Westcott.
