LOL... So True... I'll have to research Perkins some.... The negative attack ads by both are more than just a little "off-putting"...

I am starting to get used to the idea of voting for Perkins. I hope I spelled his name correctly.

Plante, I hope your realized that your cartoons? aren't funny and are always biased. I hope this is the last for you!

my view, Sand Springs (10/25/2009 12:40:58 PM)
I'm sure most city employees are Democrats as is most government employees. They usually see larger pay raises with the Democrats in power. Remember the eight percent pay raise that Mayor Taylor gave all city employees shortly after being elected? If it can be done cheaper using private companies then that's what any city should do. It's the city residents money not city governments money. peelumba, Raise a interesting thought about city equipment falling apart. The cities could still maintain equipment which would create a hammer against private companies trying gouge the taxpayers.

My goodness! Here we go again Bruce. Another great day of commentary on the TW. But I'll have to wait until after church to get in on this.

Gads, what tricks are they dreaming up? We should all slam the door on these fools, er, ghouls.

That is totally hilarious, I cracked up on this one!

Hey Bruce, Is the guy that penned Bartlett's name on his coat, the same guy that had to write "Caribbean" on the black board a few months back? Still a very scary cartoon for the city of Tulsa.

Looks like Bruce found a "T" for Bartlett's coat. Does that make Bruce a T Bagger.

rockfan, broken arrow (10/25/2009 6:08:50 PM)
Really funny.

i am sure Barlett has all the city employees attention with his immediate response to contracting out city services. It seems like the quick answer......Not just check in with OK city on this issue. Granted there are a few services that might be done cheeper this year but, when future bids come in and city owned eqipment starts to fail who do you think pays then? Privatizing services is not the answer.

peelumba, (10/25/2009 4:50:22 PM)
the thing is view that most private contractors can always do it cheaper at first just to get in. then prices go up. OK city found this out the hard way an a sewage treatment facility. The initial cost was cheaper then after the third year prices went up and the city had to take it back with major equipment failing do to lack of quality maintenance form someone who cares about their job....... on the cities maintaining maintaining quipment as a hammer....you have to have employees to do that most of which you loose when you privatize their jobs...it doesn't work that way. again Privatizing is not the answer.

been apart of both ends jdam you are quite wrong on your assumptions. thanks for the attempt at wit.

Peelumba, you must be talking about Laredo. Here's how that privatization thing works. The city announces that it will take bids for trash collection service for FY '09 - FY '12. Upon careful consideration by the mayor, council, engineers, and others, they enter into what's called a "contract." If the contractor fails to hold up his end of the "contract" the city sues his a@@ off. Certain city services aren't like the fire and police services. For example, you don't need to FULLY staff the street department when there exist many related contractors in the immediate area. The few bits of city owned equipment get maintained by the same lot that maintains the other end items - it's just fewer of them. Strategic military transportation works the same way. I hope that's not a shocker for you.

Re. the cartoon: You'd prabably look like that too after your 30th, or so, rubber chicken fund raiser.

dustyoutlaw, Tulsa (10/26/2009 11:28:35 AM)
I don't understand why the TW doesn't endorse Perkins. The other two have shamed themselves to the point that to vote for them is to say you really don't care about substance in political campaigns at all.

Centrist, the burbs (10/25/2009 4:24:13 AM)
Great Bruce, love those house shoes.

2ndjoyce, BA (10/25/2009 9:40:29 PM)
Trick or trick!

Thunder196, Tulsa (10/25/2009 4:09:08 PM)
Anyone else see the humor of Bruce doing these cartoons about Bartlett and Adelson. Especially knocking Bartlett, the candidate that TW is backing. That is comical.

okie ridgerunner, Small Country Town State Line (10/25/2009 3:23:10 AM)
It is that time of year. and Bruce is on top of it.I really like this cartoon. great job Bruce.

Matt in BA, Broken Arrow (10/26/2009 2:32:31 PM)
Bruce, nice one, you're kind of stuck on Halloween with these two guys, but then again, what could be scarier than that, maybe an election for Mayor of Tulsa. They both need a rock put in their bags to go with the mud.

redbeard, Stillwater (10/26/2009 12:36:02 PM)
How about a mud pie for each of them?

Royce, Tulsa (10/26/2009 2:09:53 PM)
Plante's cartoons are about as funny as an attack of appendicitis. That's a shame too because the guy does have a rare talent for drawing caricatures.
