Voters across Green Country will decide on several bond packages and sales tax proposals this Tuesday. Improvements to schools, recreational facilities, and improved roads are at stake in these elections.
Tulsa
In Tulsa, voters will accept or reject a $609 million bond package for Tulsa Public Schools. There are four different propositions that voters will decide on individually.
- $200,985,000 for student experiences, including extracurricular activities.
- $276,000,000 for facilities, including renovations.
- $104,785,000 for technology.
- $27,230,000 for transportation.
None of the propositions will raise property taxes.
Broken Arrow
Voters in Broken Arrow will decide on a "Go Bond" proposal priced at $415 million. Propositions 1 through 7 would keep sales taxes the same and would improve roads, intersections, sidewalks, trails, and public safety facilities. Proposition 8, which would fund upgrades to the Arrowhead Softball Complex, would increase the sales tax by a temporary half-cent.
Inola
Inola Public Schools is asking voters to approve a $60 million bond package. The latest version of the bond is split into two different propositions, each sitting at about $30 million. The funds would cover new classrooms, facility renovations, and technology upgrades.
Pryor
Pryor voters will also decide on a school bond package. The $98,155,000 would fund the creation of a new middle school, facility maintenance and structure needs, and Phase Two of the Tiger Stadium Project.
McAlester
The City of McAlester is asking voters to approve a penny sales tax to fund road repairs. Interim City Manager Ken Wilmer says that if the sales tax brings in between $3 to $4 million dollars a year, it is possible to fix 30 to 40 roads.
