Collinsville school lunch prices were increased (for the first time since 2001 and for only the 2nd time in 22 years) at the 8/6/2007 School Board meet. No changes to K-8th breakfast (still $1) or low-income meals. K-5 Elementary lunch now $1.75 (was $1.50). Secondary lunch now $2 (was $1.75). Adult lunch now $2.75 (was $2.50). These prices include one milk. An extra milk was increased to 30 cents (was 25 cents). The increase was made as the CNP program was starting to run in the red. The new prices are still similar or lower than most neighboring schools. Pat Herald mentioned that dairy product prices alone were up 35% in just the past year. -- Ted 10:25pm August 6th, 2007 [8/7 Update: Adult breakfast $1.50; Guest Breakfast $3; Guest Lunch $4.25]

Tulsa has a long history of getting someone else to pay it's bills. Several years ago, I recall one bond issue, what they titled "Tulsa City/County Bond Issue". It included widening of intersections (Tulsa), build new fire stations (Tulsa), etc. The only county project was a new bridge over Mingo Creek on N Mingo Road. Not a really busy bridge. For this endeavor everyone in Tulsa Co had to pay. During a recent hearing, questions were heard about the terrible condition of Tulsa city streets. A city counselor replied "We'll develop the river project, it'll attract new business, then we'll have revenue to fix the streets". I don't think so. When in doubt, cast it out. Vote NO! -- J. Dixon (8/8/2007)
No to river tax. If development is so vital to Tulsa then PRIVATE money can fund it and free enterprise will flourish. -- Tim Nelson 8/1/2007 There will be a Tulsa county-wide vote Oct. 9th on sales tax use for Arkansas River Development as Tulsa County Commersioners voted August 1st to proceed with the plan.
County Tax For Tulsa River Development? Absolutely not! Seems like a no-brainer to me. Collinsville should not be taxed to pay for something in Tulsa that will benefit so few when there are so many local needs of higher priority and potential payback. -- Ted Wright 8/1/2007 I hate to say this, but I am against supporting something that will not help Collinsville in my opinion. I think Collinsville has many things that need to be fixed or replaced that would benefit us better. (example: the city swimming pool)
Tulsa should support its on endeavors and not make the surrounding towns support their causes. We have already lost a long standing fixture in the Tulsa community when Bell's was forced out of business. Again I say vote NO! -- Dana Howard 7/28/2007
The only river tax I`d support would be a CANEY River development tax. -- Rick Clark 8/1/2007 A Tulsa World/KTUL TV poll of 500 from Tulsa County showed only 39% would support the proposed Tulsa river development. (with 51% opposed) -- Ted 8/1/2007
