Mayor Bartlett is vetoing a Tulsa City Council resolution calling for the state not to sell the Sooner Sub Rail Line between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The rail line is being considered for a passenger train link between the state's largest cities.
Bartlett feels that passenger rail should be all private sector and not a state backed partnership.
DEWEY BARTLETT: " Use of a commuter rail between Oklahoma City and Tulsa has to be something that works and is supported on an almost daily basis by a variety of people. Right now it is more of a tourist sort of adventure.
In his veto letter to the council he said he felt the resolution was too board in expressing an opinion for the entire community.
