Episode Details

Tulsa’s 2026-2027 budget, totaling $1.227 billion—a 6% jump—has been approved by the City Council, but not without controversy. Residents like Richard Alexander argue it neglects kids, especially those in underserved families, despite city claims that funding for children’s programs remains intact. Meanwhile, a $7.5 million boost for the Tulsa Zoo’s African Wilds exhibit is contingent on private donations, and all this comes with a $5.82 monthly utility hike for every resident. Budgets can still change, but for now, the city’s spending priorities are clear—and not everyone’s happy.
