  • Taxes, Homelessness, and Community Support: Tulsa's Local Pulse for November 6th

    Taxes, Homelessness, and Community Support: Tulsa's Local Pulse for November 6th
    2025/11/06
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, November 6th, and we have a busy Thursday together. We start at City Hall, where Mayor Monroe Nichols is pitching a possible point-seven percent sales tax increase. This would be the first such citywide hike in about forty-five years. The goal is fresh funding for essentials like animal welfare, parks, employee retention—services most of us rely on. Councilors are hearing presentations, with some pushing for a more deliberate process and others worried about the impact on families making less than the city’s median income. The council is expected to vote soon on whether we’ll see this proposal on an upcoming ballot.

    Alongside taxes, a big step on homelessness. Mayor Nichols has launched the Safe Move Tulsa initiative, pledging ten million dollars over the next year with a target of getting at least three hundred of our neighbors into stable homes. The announcement came yesterday at the Eagle’s Nest encampment near River Spirit Casino. Twenty-five people from Eagle’s Nest have already moved into housing. The city’s also promising better coordination: help will include mental health care, job assistance, and financial literacy support. The long-range goal, to end street homelessness in Tulsa by twenty thirty, is ambitious—but Nichols says collaboration is the key.

    Weather this morning is cloudy with a chill in the air. We can expect highs in the mid-fifties, low in the forties tonight, and a slight chance of drizzle by sunset. If you’re heading out to events or the lunchtime food drive, be sure to bring a jacket—and maybe an umbrella to be safe.

    In these uncertain times, community support is shining bright. SNAP benefits are still paused for many, but organizations like Food on the Move are meeting the need with extra grocery giveaways. Today at eleven thirty, they’re handing out three hundred bags full of groceries at Tulsa Community College’s northeast campus on Apache Street. Volunteers say the increase in need has been huge, but Tulsans are stepping up time and again.

    In education, many area child care providers are feeling pressure as federal support wanes and the government shutdown dries up subsidy money. Some centers, especially in North Tulsa, are dipping into their reserves or reducing staff. For working parents, this uncertainty adds anxiety as they juggle child care and work—an important issue to watch as families make tough choices.

    Downtown, we kick off this year’s Downtown Days of Wonder. The press conference at the BOK Center this morning marks the arrival of Tulsa’s holiday season, with festive events, lights, and community programs running into January. Look for music, art, and public activities in the weeks ahead.

    On the business front, we’re hearing fewer major openings or closings this week, as many entrepreneurs and employers track the ongoing effects of the federal shutdown and state labor market. The local job market remains steady, with unemployment near historic lows, and listings for skilled trades and healthcare jobs on the rise.

    In sports, Tulsa’s high school football playoffs wrap up this weekend. Booker T. Washington High clinched a thrilling win over rival Edison on Friday, putting them in the running for a state berth. Congratulations to players, coaches, and families who made it such a memorable night.

    Crime-wise, we saw a mix of public safety alerts in the past twenty-four hours. A few arrests and significant police calls have been reported, mainly in east Tulsa, but nothing that poses an imminent threat to public safety. There was also a passionate plea at city council last night from a resident urging better oversight of the city’s 311 reporting system after a frustrating year with little response to property crimes.

    To end our update, a feel-good story. Our city’s volunteers are showing just how much compassion Tulsa has. From food drives to housing outreach, the spirit of service is alive and well, no matter what challenges come our way.

    Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe for your daily Local Pulse. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Deadly Shooting, Halloween Mayhem, Gubernatorial Race and More

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Deadly Shooting, Halloween Mayhem, Gubernatorial Race and More
    2025/11/02
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, November second.

    We begin today with breaking news. Tulsa police are investigating a deadly shooting at the Crossing at Silver Oaks Apartments near seventy-first and Yale in South Tulsa. On Halloween night, a man reportedly forced his way into an apartment, leading the resident to open fire. The suspect, twenty-year-old Jamond Silas, was found deceased at the scene. Officers questioned the shooter, who claims self-defense, and released him pending further review by the Tulsa County District Attorney. This case is drawing attention across the city as we await word on whether charges will follow.

    Halloween also saw Tulsa police busy with other incidents. A Tulsa couple was arrested for using Halloween masks to rob a woman at her apartment complex, and a teen is facing manslaughter charges after a DUI crash near twenty-first and Garnett. Meanwhile, a traffic stop led to a human trafficking investigation, with six people now in ICE custody. These stories remind us all to stay vigilant and look out for each other.

    Turning now to City Hall, leadership changes at the state level are sending ripples through Tulsa and the rest of Oklahoma. Governor Kevin Stitt enters his last year in office and the scramble for the 2026 gubernatorial election is well underway, with Attorney General Gentner Drummond openly challenging Stitt on issues ranging from hunting rights to tribal sovereignty. Residents may see shifts in policy, particularly on law enforcement and legal jurisdiction, as candidates position themselves in the runup to next year’s race.

    On the everyday front, we’ve got updates that directly impact our neighbors. The new Dementia Special Care Disclosure Act starts this week thanks to HB 2262. Facilities in Tulsa providing dementia care must now give clear information about their programs to families, which could make a real difference for many local caregivers.

    As for the job market, Tulsa continues to show steady improvement. Recent estimates put our local unemployment rate around four percent, dipping slightly from earlier this year. In real estate, the number of home listings has held steady, with roughly one thousand active listings and median home prices hovering near two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Inventory is still tight but sales have ticked up a bit thanks to lower mortgage rates.

    Business buzz around town remains strong, with several new restaurants opening up on Cherry Street and downtown, including two family-owned spots on East Third and South Boston avenues. There is some sadness as a West Tulsa bakery, open for nearly thirty years on Southwest Boulevard, closed its doors for good yesterday.

    Now for sports, the Tulsa Oilers took to the ice last night against the Kansas City Mavericks. The Oilers added Jeffrey Faith to their active roster for the game, putting up a solid performance, and fans are looking forward to the next home match. Local high school teams also celebrated wins on Friday, with Union and Jenks football advancing to the next rounds in state playoffs.

    Weather today is shaping up to be pleasant. We expect partly sunny skies, with temperatures in the upper sixties and a light breeze. It is perfect for outdoor events, so don’t miss the Tulsa Farmers’ Market on Admiral Boulevard and the monthly First Sunday Art Walk downtown. Looking ahead, rain may move in by midweek, so enjoy today’s mild weather while we can.

    Tulsa Public Schools continue to impress, with two local elementary schools recently honored for academic achievement. Congratulations to Hoover and Kendall-Whittier for statewide recognition. Speaking of achievements, Hillcrest’s NICU staff dressed newborns in costumes for their first Halloween, bringing smiles to many local families.

    Finally, on a positive note, in our community, volunteers helped clear trails along River Parks yesterday, making it safer for joggers and bikers. Thanks to everyone who pitched in on Riverside Drive.

  • Tulsa Faces SNAP Suspension, New Laws, and Community Support Amidst Federal Shutdown

    Tulsa Faces SNAP Suspension, New Laws, and Community Support Amidst Federal Shutdown
    2025/11/01
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, November first. We’re waking up to a brisk autumn morning in Tulsa, with temperatures sitting in the low forties and the forecast calling for mostly sunny skies and a high near sixty. Winds are light and, while chilly, it’s a perfect day for outdoor activities and catching up on what matters most in our city.

    Let’s begin with breaking news that affects thousands across Tulsa and the state. SNAP benefits—commonly called food stamps—have been suspended as a result of the ongoing federal government shutdown. Nearly seventeen percent of Oklahomans, including many in Tulsa, rely on this crucial support. The governor is working with state leaders to offer emergency grants to food banks from the state’s contingency fund, with one million dollars a week available while federal aid remains unavailable. This is a lifeline for families facing hard choices between groceries and rent, as we enter November and the holiday season. Local nonprofits and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma are stepping up to bridge the gap, and there’s a strong call for neighbors to help however we can.

    City Hall is discussing other pressing issues. Mayors from Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Edmond met here to highlight that nearly half the state’s households struggle to meet basic needs. They’re urging better collaboration among government and community leaders, promising that more coordinated programs to support struggling families are in the works.

    A new law takes effect today—you’ll want to remember this if you’re driving around town. Oklahoma now bans handheld phone use in all school and work zones. You can still use hands-free devices, but if you’re caught with your phone in your hand near a school or construction area, expect a fine similar to the state’s texting-while-driving penalties. This move aims to reduce distracted driving and make our roads safer, especially for students and roadside workers.

    On the business front, developers broke ground this week on a massive one billion dollar data center just north of East 76th and Sheridan. Known as Project Clydesdale, it’s expected to create hundreds of jobs and means Tulsa is deepening its footprint in technology infrastructure. Meanwhile, Tulsa’s job market holds steady, with unemployment around four percent, but the shutdown is affecting some sectors, especially social services as the Department of Human Services begins furloughing over two thousand employees statewide.

    Homeowners will notice some new protections on the market, thanks to a law now in effect that guards against predatory real estate wholesalers. The aim is to keep quick-cash offers in check and help families retain long-term security in their homes, especially as interest rates trend higher.

    For cultural events, the Junior League of Tulsa is stepping in to help families affected by the shutdown. On Tuesday, November fourth, they’ll deliver feminine hygiene products to women in need, ensuring no one is left behind during hard times. Saturday also brings a chance to enjoy Tulsa’s music scene, with local bands playing along Cherry Street and the Arts District celebrating First Saturday gallery walks.

    In sports, high school football saw Union top Jenks in a close Friday night matchup at Chapman Stadium, while college basketball heats up today with the University of Saint Mary facing off against Georgia Gwinnett College as part of the Tulsa Challenge. It’s a proud weekend for our student athletes.

    Crime reports show a quiet night in Tulsa, with only minor incidents reported and no major public safety alerts. Police continue their search efforts at Oaklawn Cemetery as part of the work to uncover unmarked graves from the 1921 Race Massacre, with renewed hope for reconciliation and historical clarity.

    And before we go, a feel-good story: volunteers from across Tulsa have stepped up to make sure families can celebrate the season even with current hardships, organizing neighborhood food drives and free community meals this weekend at local churches and rec centers.
