From The Tulsa World:

City Councilor John Eagleton filed a protest Monday in Tulsa County District Court to contest the validity of an initiative petition that seeks nonpartisan municipal elections.

Eagleton contends that the petition is “invalid on its face” because it doesn’t contain the warning clause required by law to keep it “free from the taint of duplicate, false, fraudulent and unauthorized signatures.”

Eagleton also states in the protest that City Clerk Mike Kier used the wrong election to determine the number of signatures necessary for the petition to be determined sufficient.
