No, no, no, no and no.

Tulsans will also vote on five propositions on August 25 that deal with political correctness; nonpartisan elections; control of authorities, boards and commissions; and the function of the city attorney.

Proposition No. 1 deletes any references to partisan elections because Tulsa’s municipal elections are “nonpartisan.”

Proposition No. 2 erases any “gender specific” pronouns or words in several sections of the City Charter.

Proposition No. 3 allows the City Council and Mayor to remove members of authorities, boards and commissions by enacting an ordinance to do so.

Proposition No. 4 amends the City Charter so that the city attorney would be appointed by mayor and be under Civil Service protection, subject to confirmation by the City Council.

Proposition No. 5 expands the duties of the city attorney to advise the mayor but also the city auditor and city councilors.

Most Tulsans will be completely unaware of the impact of the five questions when they fill out their ballots. City officials have been careful to not explain the impact of these propositions and their buddies in the news media have cooperated again by not talking or writing about them. (The liberal Tulsa World has endorsed a yes vote on all five propositions and that is a giant red flag). The Tulsa Beacon endorses a “no” vote on all five.
