Ken Yazel, Tulsa County Assessor, responds to The Future of Real Estate interview with Joe Cook who speaking for the passage of the Broken Arrow School Bond issue. Mr. Yazel that Tulsa County residents are, by far, the highest taxed real estate owners in the state. Some proponents for the bond issue are saying that Yazel's weighted average is not representative of the actual tax rate property owners are paying. Yazel responds "The fact is that Tulsa property owners are the highest taxed in the state and they deserve to know the truth. I am not here to kill any bond issue or to oppose the vote. I am here to make the facts available and make sure taxpayers are not mislead by marketing campaigns trying to get their votes."
Darryl Baskin, Tulsa, OK area real estate broker and host of The Future of Real Estate radio program on AM740 and fm102.3 KRMG, adds "This is a healthy debate which will let Broken Arrow, OK residents make an important decision about what they want their community to be in coming years. This is what determines the livability of a city and what will eventually determine future Broken Arrow real estate values. It is not just about how much stuff you have but about how much you have to pay for that stuff if you live there."
