GTR: Negativism Puts Pall on Mayoral Race
And then there’s independent candidate Mark Perkins offering ideas and plans for how he would like to see the city evolve under his tenure as mayor and refusing to enter into the nasty little war, something not interesting to most Tulsa media outlets judging from the coverage his candidacy has received to date.
To date independent candidate Perkins has stuck to his message of bi-partisanship and cooporation as preferable to the rancourous and debilitating effects of old school local party politics he refers to as “partisan fraternities.” When asked to specify areas he would focus on he answered, “The primary focus of my campaign will be on public safety, roads and infrastructure, education and economic development. I believe these are the core issues that impact quality of life for Tulsans, and are the most appropriate areas of focus for government.”
