 "If we raise taxes we will drive business and industry away from Tulsa." 

-- Councilor John Eagleton, January 26, 2010 


"It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of law into an instrument of plunder."

-- Frederic Bastiat, The Law (1850)

Councilor John Eagleton has expressed his opposition to proposals to solve the City of Tulsa budget crisis by imposing taxes and fees on entertainment-related goods and services. From a January 27, 2010, Tulsa World story:

"If we raise taxes we will drive business and industry away from Tulsa," Councilor John Eagleton said. 
 
By targeting one particular industry, "we will get less from that industry," he said.
