If you are interested in discovering facts about the new Zink Dam, completed in 2024, click on the image below.

These PowerPoint presentation slides and supporting documents will provide you unpublicized facts about the dam, its promised features and benefits, and especially the false information embelished by the City of Tulsa to sell the project to the voters. Might call it a flimflam job.

Your takeaway from this information is up to you. However, you will come away with a new awareness as to how the City, especially Mayor Bynum, has managed or mismanaged this project worth tens of millions of dollars and what to expect upon its completion.

If you are interested in the latest analysis of the bacteria in Zink Lake published by the City of Tulsa you can click on this link. This data will be updated from time to time.

To make matters worse we are planning to waste another $65 million on the South Tulsa Jenks Dam which will not have any recreational benefits of worth.

Help stop more wasted money and environmental destruction from the upcoming South Tulsa Jenks Dam by signing this petition. Your email will not be shared or sold by change.org.

If you are interested is how you can save the old pedestrian bridge. Check out this webpage. This is another waste of Tulsa money and a flimflam job on Tulsans. Tulsans did not get to name the bridge even though we funded most of the construction cost. Williams put a pittance of money in it and they got to name it!
