  • Tulsa City Councilor Jayme Fowler questions why Tulsa taxpayers, not retailers, are footing the $100,000 bill for the abandoned shopping cart pilot program.

The article from Tulsa World discusses a new abandoned shopping cart retrieval program in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which has drawn criticism from outgoing City Councilor Jeannie Cue. The program, aimed at reducing the clutter of abandoned carts in public spaces, involves retailers paying a fee to the city for cart retrieval services. Councilor Cue expressed concerns over the financial burden this places on retailers, especially small businesses, arguing that the fees could be detrimental during economic recovery. She also highlighted the lack of prior discussion with retailers about the program's implementation. Despite the criticism, the city is moving forward with the program, believing it will improve the city's aesthetics and address public complaints about scattered shopping carts.
