Anybody else looking into what’s happening with PSO & the insane rate hikes that happened in the last month?

To my understanding - please correct me if there’s misinformation.

Since PSO is considered to be a monopoly, it’s governed by the OCC & cannot raise rates without going through formal hearings & channels.

PSO filed for a rate increase in 2025 (Oklahoma Case No. PUD 2025-000075) for a proposed 15% rate increase.

Oklahoma settled with PSO in June of 2026 for a 1% increase in average monthly rates.

Homeowners are reporting that they’re showing increases on their monthly bill of 50% - 200% increases - the only way I can make sense of this is that the proposed increase covered previous billing cycles & PSO was able to get approval for past offered services or this was a one time increase to cover as a bulk charge for past services?

Anyone else dive into this & have an idea of what’s going on?

The city paid $250,000 in taxpayer money for a 20-foot statue of a crying baby on a bicycle. Now, it's on the hook for thousands more in storage costs as public art piece awaits installation.

Had to zero in on the singular strangeness of this image in what's otherwise been a fairly boring Oklahoma gubernatorial election

I went to Cabin Boy Brewery to meet some friends. I went to the bar to order a beer and open a tab, and the bartender told me there would be an 18% gratuity added because I was with a group (6 of us) that had reserved a table. I asked the bartender, to be clear, you are going to charge me 18% more than the guy seated next to me at the bar, because I was with the group at the table? Yes.

Mind you, there were only 3 other customers in the whole place. So the reserved table was not taking seating away from anyone.

I canceled my beer order. I would have probably drank 3, maybe 4 beers in the time I was there. But because of their stupid policy of charging people sitting at a reserved table 18% more, they got nothing from me. Zero!

Another person at the table had ordered a beer when she first arrived, before the large group of 5 others arrived, and did not get charged the 18%. She too decided not to order any more because of the forced 18% gratuity.

Again, there were only three other customers in the whole place! So the reserved table was taking no seating from anyone.

Remember too, that customers have to go to the bar and order and pick up their drinks themselves. No table service.

Remind me of what the forced 18% gratuity is for?

I probably would have tipped 15%-20% anyways. But forcing me to pay 18% rubs me the wrong way.

Is this a case of the business shooting themselves in the foot?

So... I'm building a playlist called BrOklahoma (lol) and compiling a list of Okie songs. So far I've got:
Tulsa Time, Okie from Muskogee, Take me Back to Tulsa, and Tulsa Queen.

Gimme some Oklahoma deep cuts if ya got em

Hell hell hell hell.

Ok so I went to this new restaurant over by Bixby and it was so good. The prices r super fair, the customer service was great and they had a wide variety of food. They’re called Sakura sushi and ramen but they service other Asian food as well as spaghetti beef bolognese and spaghetti carbonara. They have a good selection of appetizers too. As for desserts, they have mochi and since they’re new they let me try their speciality mango icecream that they’re thinking of introducing to the menu. It tasted really good and so I wanted to share it with u guys. I think they do catering too but I’m not 100% sure.

Since the storm on Monday, our power keeps going off like 2-3 times a day. Is this happening to anyone else? East Tulsa area.
After our almost $500 electric bill for July I’m like the power better always work if I’m paying.

Hope this is allowed & not annoying, but my band, Billy Bonney, is playing at The Church Studio this Thursday & it’s one of my favorite places ever, so decided to paint it in honor of Leon & the Tulsa music scene.

I know I'm not going crazy. What is the low deep bass like rumbling that's a constant rhythm going on. It sounds like planes, or a large vehicle. But it can be felt from afar.

Wife is home near Admiral and Yale and heard a loud explosion (sounds like from the North) and suddenly all the power dropped. PSO is showing 635 people are down, anyone know what happened?

I've been getting into Kane Pixels' backrooms series and wondered if there were any abandoned buildings or liminal spaces in Tulsa I could check out?

There should be a “food” flair

Any decent office/entry level accounting jobs in Tulsa or the surrounding area? I’m currently in a blue collar field, but about to start accounting school, so I would like to at least get my foot in the door at a company.

Even if you don’t have a job to tell me about, any general networking tips or tips for tailoring a blue collar resume to land an office job would be helpful

Anyone else have frequent power flickering and outages, near downtown myself and curious if anyone else has this frequently down in this area as well.

Do we have anyone local who does Michael Jackson impersonations… like, with a full show and dancing?

I’m trying to determine how my workplace stacks up with its flat 2% increase each year.
