We were first introduced to Blanco Flooring & Remodeling at an event at a local tile store. He was leading a workshop on installing shower systems PROPERLY. Victor has the highest national certification possible for all major shower systems on the market. He frequently brings in materials from outside of Tulsa to achieve the standards required for unique and custom jobs. We highly recommend Victor Blanco for your flooring and remodeling needs.

Today, in the Tulsa is Home Podcast, host Roderick Hands discusses the Tulsa Remote initiative with Justin Harlan, highlighting Tulsa's effort to attract remote knowledge workers by offering $10,000 incentives to move and work in Tulsa for a year. The initiative began in 2018, bringing in thousands of new residents, significantly impacting the local economy, creating over 1,300 jobs, and generating $500 million in revenue. The discussion covers the program's development, its economic benefits, community integration challenges, and future goals to attract more remote workers and enhance local networking opportunities.

Financial News
Tulsa Receives a Declining ‘B’ Financial Rating???
The Financial State of the Cities report found that 54 cities did not have enough money to pay their bills. Each city has some form of a balanced budget requirement, but this new report shows that cities have not met the intent of their requirement and have pushed costs onto future taxpayers. Find out how Tulsa stacks up in this report by Truth in Accounting. Tulsa’s financial condition declined in fiscal year 2023, primarily due to rising pension costs, yet the city maintained a $30.1 million surplus, earning a “B” grade and a $200 Taxpayer Surplus™ in Truth in Accounting’s latest report. A significant increase in Tulsa’s share of the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension System, along with market fluctuations and actuarial adjustments, contributed to growing liabilities. Public safety expenses rose to $274.4 million, a 27.3% increase driven by higher salaries and pensions. While Tulsa remains financially stable, managing escalating pension liabilities and public safety costs will be crucial for long-term fiscal health. |  |
