Tulsa GOP chair wants to return to partisan city elections Public Radio Tulsa spoke with Melissa Myers, who was elected chair of the Tulsa GOP in March. Myers argued the lack of party affiliation on city ballots causes confusion.

County GOP chairwoman Melissa Myers says she’s moving to put an ordinance to make council and mayoral elections partisan before city council β€œin the next couple weeks.”

Confusion plagues Tulsa’s discrimination complaint process It’s unclear how to file human rights discrimination complaints with the city of Tulsa.

I reported two months ago that Tulsa’s website for filing discrimination complaints was broken.

The city compliance officer said today that my article flagged the problem for them, and they’re working to fix it.

Every time you see the initials AI you can replace it with Al, as in Weird Al. It doesn’t fix anything but it makes the dopamine hit ever so slightly.

Tulsa police cruiser runs over jaywalking suspect A Tulsa police cruiser rolled over a jaywalking suspect in April after the officer forgot to put his cruiser in park.

Tulsa police chased a jaywalking suspect and tackled him. While they were arresting him, one of the officers’ cruisers was left in reverse and rolled over the suspect.

In the meantime, I've still got four whole weeks of raising hell in my hometown.

I'll see you on the flip side!!

I’m going to miss Tulsa like crazy, but I’ll be back plenty! After all, this city is home, and a move won’t change that. It’s been a privilege to come back home and do news in my hometown for the past two and a half years. I’ll remember it fondly.

Everything has come together more perfectly than I could have imagined. The last 10 months of FaceTime dates, trips up north, failed job interviews, playing email tag with editors and sitting on the edge of my seat as I waited to hear something back have all paid off.

Man claims illegal detention in Tulsa jail as ICE, sheriff dispute responsibility A man detained on an immigration hold in the Tulsa County jail says he’s held illegally, but officials say he won’t be going anywhere until the courts determine if that’s the case.

Salvador Franco-Gomez β€” a husband, father and construction worker β€” sought citizenship for 13 years and committed no crimes.

Then ICE arrested him.

Under the current agreement, ICE detainees in the Tulsa County jail must be released after 72 hours.

The Tulsa County sheriff wants to be able to hold the detainees until they're deported or have a court date.

I’ve never really been the life of the party or super in your face so my personality compliments my job I guess? I actually believe I’ve gotten interviews I wouldn’t have because people read me as kind of unassuming
