[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 3263891, member: 12082"] Full title: [SIZE=4]Tulsa mayor won't state his position after OKC mayor signs petition to repeal Oklahoma's 'constitutional carry' gun law. The day after Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt announced on Twitter that he has signed a referendum petition to nullify the permitless carry law approved by the Legislature last year, Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum refused to state his position. The Tulsa World asked the mayor to comment on the issue early Thursday morning. He did not respond to the request, instead posting [B][URL='https://www.facebook.com/gtbynumfortulsamayor/posts/2306168766378505?__tn__=K-R']a message on his Facebook page[/URL][/B] late in the afternoon. Saying “some things don’t fit in sound bites,” Bynum explained that he ran for mayor pledging to bring the city together to face its greatest challenges. “So if you are in a job like mine, you focus on the things you can really make a difference on — and you bring together people who otherwise disagree on the other stuff to fix those things within your purview,” he wrote. “You sacrifice your right to express your opinion on every issue in service to the job you’ve been given.” Bynum said he knows it angers some of his friends that he doesn’t comment on national politics, sign group letters to the U.S. Senate or “jump into the fray on state initiative petitions.” “As a citizen, you should feel free to do all of these things,” Bynum wrote. “As a citizen, I have opinions on all of them too. But as mayor, I have a responsibility to pull our city together so we can move it forward.” [/SIZE] [More at the link] [URL]https://www.tulsaworld.com/news/state-and-regional/tulsa-mayor-won-t-state-his-position-after-okc-mayor/article_116fe2b7-d6f8-5546-b784-8c90ae7fd14b.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
