Zoning Question on the Ballot Tomorrow

Email sent to Brookside residents but important to all ---

Hello Brookside Neighbors and Friends,

In addition to the primaries for Mayor and City Council, there is another question on next Tuesday's ballot. (This hasn't received much publicity, but I think it's important.)

"SHALL THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF TULSA BE AMENDED TO PROVIDE THEREQUIREMENT OF AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THREEFOURTHS (3/4) OF THE ENTIREMEMBERSHIP OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EFFECT A CHANGE OF ZONING IN THE EVENT ASUFFICIENT PROTEST IS FILED?"

This is a very important issue relating to neighborhoods. This will make it harder for developers to change zoning to meet the needs of a project whenit is being contested by neighborhood associations. Zoning should not be easily changed at the whim of a developer. Zoning ordinances protect the"little guy" from the city as well as developers. It is very important that you vote YES on Tuesday.

Don't Forget to Exercise Your Right to Vote!

It's the one right that can't be taken away!
Make sure to get yourselves to the polls tomorrow, March 7th for the primary elections. It is an important time for the city of Tulsa.

(And just for the sake of the system, please vote only once.)
