OKPOP Supporters Seeking Funding Help Again This Session
Tulsa’s OKPOP Museum promoters optimistic about funding
By BARBARA HOBEROCK World Capitol Bureau
OKLAHOMA CITY - With an already growing collection of exhibit materials, supporters of a popular culture museum to be built in Tulsa will again seek legislative appropriations.
But with state officials forecasting a flat budget picture for fiscal year 2015, the fate of such funding for the OKPOP museum remains far from certain.
“Until we get a better idea of our revenue picture from the Board of Equalization in February, we can’t commit to anything that will have a budget impact,” said Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa.
Bob Blackburn, Oklahoma Historical Society executive director, is trying to build more momentum for financial support from the state.
