The Tulsa County effort proposed by current Commission Chairman Lonnie Sims (R-Dist.2) is named Office of Government Efficiency and Transparency (OGET) and would be tasked with alerting County Government and the public of national, state, and local changes that could potentially impact County services and maintain regular reporting on programs and services provided by Tulsa County.

In a media release today, Samaritan’s Purse thanks the community for, “the overwhelming generosity of the people of Tulsa​ that helped provide to children in need through Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts this season.”

To make your voice heard, bring your voter registration card with state issued ID, and attend these short but important meetings organized by State House Districts within Tulsa County.
