Privatization Consensus Meeting on April 10: Come One, Come All!
Privatization is nothing new. It permeates all levels of government affecting the prison system, the education system, the way our roads  are maintained and the very water we drink. These attempts at government cost saving will not likely vanish in the near future, so how do we make sure it is done in our best interests?
Join us at a consensus meeting focused on the LWVUS Privatization Study being held from 6- 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 10 at the Tulsa Opera offices, 1610 S. Boulder. All members are encouraged to attend. Rides will be provided for any members who are unable or do not wish to drive after dark. Please contact the League office at 918-747-7933 to schedule a ride.

April Unit Meetings: State Income Tax
On Sunday, March 18, a headline in the Tulsa World read: The House and Senate last week passed measures to reduce or eliminate the state income tax, but the final plan won't be known for weeks.  Three bills have made their way through committee and are currently under consideration by the Oklahoma legislature. All three would alter significantly the rate and brackets for state income taxes and would eliminate certain credits, exemptions and deductions.
The League of Women Voters--at all levels--has stated positions on fiscal policy which will serve as a backdrop for the April Unit meeting discussions.
See the calendar for unit meeting times, dates and locations. Click here for the full article and for links to April study materials.

Giving to the League
Thanks to all who contributed to the League's 92nd Birthday observance! We are grateful for your thoughtfulness! Because dues alone can't finance the work of the League, the generosity of time, talent and treasure from members and friends help us provide the voter services and participation in the public policy process the public expects from us. We've been honored this past year with numerous bequests, honoraria and memorials. One long-time member tells us she has the League as one of the beneficiaries of her I.R.A. (and hopes the League won't get that for years!). There are lots of ways to leave a legacy for the Tulsa League--everything from honoring or memorializing a friend or family member to a simple beneficiary to a charitable remainder trust. Please contact the office if you'd like to discuss making arrangements. |
LWVOK Council
LWVOK Council is May 19 in Stillwater. All members are welcome to attend. We need one more voting delegate. Please contact the office if you'd like to join us. |
New Office Printer Needed
Our multipurpose office printer is on its last legs. Frequently corporations in town will donate "older" office equipment, furniture and other office supplies. If you ever hear of anything like this or have an office printer to donate, please contact the office. We'd be happy to give it a good home. |
