Tulsa City Councilors tried and failed to “get” Mayor Dewey Bartlett and his chief of staff, Terry Simonson on allegations that they lied to the Tulsa City Council.

Now, the trio of Burt B. Holmes, Nancy Rothman and Henryetta McIntosh have returned the favor and filed a civil lawsuit in Tulsa County District Court on July 14 alleging that the Tulsa City Council and its individual members violated the Open Meeting Act.

The plaintiffs contend that the Open Meeting Act was violated during an executive session the Tulsa City Council held regarding an investigation into allegations that Mayor Dewey Bartlett and his chief of staff, Terry Simonson, lied to the council about a federal police grant.

It was during that executive session that the Council voted to remove Bartlett from the room. Reportedly Bartlett had refused to leave the room.

Oh well, with a Mayor and City Council acting like a bunch of spoiled brats what’s another black eye for Tulsa as it races to become the Detroit of the Southwest…

Don’t it make Tulsans proud?
