Episode Details

Oklahoma’s state government is billing Tulsa over half a million dollars for cleanup costs from Operation SAFE — a state-led effort to clear homeless encampments last year. Governor Stitt’s team argues the city failed to act, demanding reimbursement and even proposing new laws to force cities to pay when the state intervenes. Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols fiercely counters, pointing out the operation used state resources on state land and highlighting that Tulsa has already spent nearly $2 million since 2021 on homelessness initiatives — including its own successful Safe Move Tulsa program. The feud is escalating, with both sides blaming each other and the financial dispute showing no sign of cooling.
