Abortion Advocates Driving Lawsuit Reform?

OKPNS readers alerted us today that the KOKC version of  “Your Vote Counts” this morning featured an exchange between “Sunrise News” Host Randy Renner, Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore and Rep. Richard Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City regarding problems with the shrinking capitol press corps.

Listeners say Terrill complained the press has thus far ignored hints that a group of abortion advocates may be the driving force behind some of the provisions of the lawsuit reform bill.

Jenks Takes Tulsa Mayor To Court Over Proposed Toll Bridge

Tulsa – The City of Jenks is filing a lawsuit against Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor and Public Works Director Charles Hardt over a proposed toll bridge that would run from 121st and South Yale in Tulsa to 131st and South Yale Place in Jenks. Jenks officials accuse Tulsa officials of stalling the project.

The lawsuit alleges Mayor Taylor has not signed an engineering services contract that the City of Jenks needs to move forward on the bridge project.
