Moore For Tulsa City Council District 1

“The people of District 1 pay the highest tax rate out of their income, work the hardest for their money, drive the furthest across the worst roads to get to work and get told a bunch of empty promises about a better future that will not arrive until someone gets creative and works around our broken tax system. Tulsa has the 16th most regressive tax rate in the nation and likely worse if they factor in the mandatory utility bill. Tulsa is prosperous but the tax disparity leaves the lowest income earners paying the highest tax rates by double and even triple that of other Districts and creates an untenable future and kills economic development prospects before they can even get off the ground because no one has money to spend on anything other than the cheapest possible option no matter what part of town they can find it. The hardest working people should not have to drive the worst roads on the longest drives to work or the store… it is just too much and has to change and right now, no one is even looking at the issue.”
