The big news Thursday in Tulsa was that Mayor Kathy Taylor unexpectedly announced that she would not be seeking re-election this fall.
A report by KRMG radio contains this little snippet:
She’s a bit coy about her plans for life after office but does say she’ll take a vacation down Route 66 with her husband after her term is up and then consider her options.
I don’t think she’s blowing smoke about the Mother Road because it passes through Tulsa, either. I met her a few years ago shortly after she got elected, and she specifically said she wanted to travel Route 66 one day.
Now, she’ll have her chance.
