Oktaha residents to decide on sales tax proposal
Oktaha Mayor June Hall said the upcoming sales tax election is key to advancing the town. 'This is a critical step for Oktaha,' Hall said. 'We work on a shoestring budget. There's been no stores here in Oktaha in just about 30 years.' The proposed sales tax is 4%. Early voting is Thursday and Friday at the Muskogee County Election Board office from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. while the general election is Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Oktaha Volunteer Fire Department. Muskogee County District 1 Commissioner Ken Doke campaigned in 2014 on economic development for his district and for the county. '[Oktaha] hasn't had any businesses there that could generate sales tax, so there was never a need for one,' Doke said. 'One of the ideas I shared was bringing in a Dollar General — not just for convenience, but for the long-term potential it could bring to the community.' Doke also said the result of the sales tax election is a decision for the people of Oktaha. 'If the annexation and sales tax pass, they will pick up the Dollar Store and the Convenient Store,' he said. 'They could then begin collecting sales tax. If it doesn't pass, they will collect nothing.' Hall said the vote can lead to improvements and commerce. 'The sales tax is important to Oktaha so we can run the town,' Hall said. 'The sales tax was proposed months ago in one of our meetings. We're trying to improve Oktaha the best we can.' Doke also explained on a Facebook post how important he thinks the vote is to the town. 'I hope people realize what's truly at stake — not just a store, but a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape Oktaha's future on its own terms,' he said. 'Whatever the outcome, we'll keep working to bring opportunities like this to communities across Muskogee County.' Solve the daily Crossword

Zohran Mamdani Reacts to Report Trump Could Get Involved in NYC Race
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Democratic mayoral primary winner and New York state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani reacted to a report from The New York Times on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is weighing the possibility of getting involved in the New York City mayoral race. Newsweek reached out to Mamdani's campaign via email for comment. Why It Matters The possibility of Trump intervening in New York City's closely watched mayoral race has injected a new level of uncertainty into an already tumultuous contest. With Mamdani, a democratic socialist, securing the Democratic nomination, his progressive platform has become a lightning rod for national and local political forces. The added element of Trump, a polarizing figure in New York, considering involvement could reshape alliances, influence voter turnout and have implications for the broader 2026 midterm cycle. Analysts note that the outcome of this race may serve as a litmus test for the future direction of Democratic politics in major American cities and the role of high-profile national figures in local campaigns. What To Know According to the Times report, citing eight people briefed on discussions, the president has privately considered if he should get involved, with the goal of blocking Mamdani from securing a win. Trump has spoken to pollster Mark Penn and former New York City Council President Andrew Stein about polling that shows former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo being Mamdani's strongest competitor in the race, the Times reports. Cuomo and Trump have directly spoken as well, the outlet says, citing three people. It is unknown who initiated the call or what was discussed. Reacting to the report, Mamdani said, "This should be a race about addressing the questions of who will make the city affordable, who will ensure that each and every New Yorker is safe ... not an audition for the best jester for Donald Trump and his billionaire supporters," Politico reporter Emily Ngo posted to X on Wednesday. Mamdani also posted the Times article on X, formerly Twitter.

Santiago/Getty Images) Recent polling shows Mamdani leading in a four-way race versus Cuomo, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. In a two-way race, Cuomo and Mamdani are closer and within the margin of error. The Times reports that Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said the former governor and Trump "have not spoken in a while," but did not elaborate on the time frame. "As far as I know, they have not discussed the race," he added. Newsweek also reached out to Cuomo's campaign via email Wednesday evening. What People Are Saying Mamdani posted to X on Wednesday: "Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It's disqualifying and a betrayal of our city." New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who also ran for mayor, posted to X on Wednesday: "Hey @andrewcuomo: Is it true that you spoke to Donald Trump about clearing the right-wing lane for you? When? What did you promise him in return? New Yorkers deserve to know." New York Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Wednesday: "NYers knew Andrew Cuomo was backed by Trump's orbit. That's why he lost the primary. Now we have confirmation. It's time for Dem leaders to unite behind @ZohranKMamdani. If they don't now, how can they call for party unity later? We must lead by example. Let's win together." What Happens Next It remains uncertain whether Trump will intervene publicly or endorse a candidate in the mayoral race. City political dynamics and Trump's well-documented unpopularity among New York's Democratic voters suggest an intervention by the president may have unpredictable consequences for all sides.

City council wants public hearing to consider impeachment of Mayor Weddle
What began as an effort to formally charge London Mayor Randall Weddle with misconduct devolved into a heated and inconclusive City Council meeting — with the legality of the vote and whether the resolution will move forward remaining unclear. The resolution, presented during the council's Monday meeting, alleged multiple violations by Weddle. The discussed resolution proposed holding a public hearing on August 20 to consider removing the mayor from office for misconduct and willful neglect. Council Member Anthony Ortega moved to amend the regular meeting's agenda to include the proposal, which was read aloud by Acting City Clerk Ashley Taylor and ultimately approved. The charges against Weddle include the following allegations: — Hired and paid individuals for city positions not formally established or approved by the City Council, violating KRS 83A.0703 — Removed and appointed members of the London Housing Authority in violation of KRS 80.090 and KRS 80.030 — Directed Housing Authority staff to ignore laws and regulations, misused police resources and made inappropriate remarks during city business — Created a personal police protection detail using city resources — Falsely asserted city jurisdiction over FEMA contractors working outside city limits — Failed to meet city residency requirements — Used a personal media outlet to target a city employee — Refused to hold regular council meetings without the consent of a majority of council members — Altered and rejected city contracts without notifying the legislative body — Improperly released a recorded call between a crime victim and a city police officer. Council Member Stacy Benge moved to table the resolution, but it failed to receive a second. Council Member Kelly Greene then moved to vote, seconded by Justin Young. The motion passed with all voting in favor except Benge. However, the legality of the vote immediately came into question. Mayor Weddle argued that approval of the full council was required, not just a majority. City Council Attorney Conrad Cessna disagreed, stating that the higher threshold applied only at the hearing stage. City Attorney Larry Bryson maintained that a majority of the full council was required to adopt the resolution. As tensions escalated, TJ Roberts introduced himself as outside legal counsel retained by the council, but was met with loud boos from the crowd. The mayor, pointing out that no public motion had been made to hire Roberts, told him to sit down. Roberts obliged. Mayor Weddle then accused the council of skipping due process. 'Let's get this on the record — every accusation that you guys have made, you have a due diligence, according to KRS, to start an investigation exploratory subcommittee. How come that has not been done on any of this?' he asked. 'You have not done it — and you know why you've not done it.' Council Member Judd Weaver then moved to hire attorney Chris Wiest. That motion passed. 'Another attorney for the city folk to have to pay, but you [couldn't] care less about the roads,' Weddle commented. Later, Weaver made a motion for a point of clarification on whether the resolution had passed. Bryson recommended waiting for legal review before proceeding, and Roberts' second attempt to speak was again drowned out by booing from the crowd. Carmine G. Iaccarino, attorney for Mayor Weddle, then addressed the council, stating, 'I think that Mr. Bryson's recommendation is very well advised. In order to ensure due process, and that the Kentucky Revised Statutes are in fact followed, in such an important situation as the removal and nullification of the vote of the people of London.' Weaver asked Iaccarino whether the resolution required six votes. Iaccarino deferred, replying, 'My recommendation is to follow Mr. Bryson's recommendation.' Weaver then asked for the determination of the chair, Mayor Weddle, to which the mayor replied, 'I think we're taking the recommendation of the city attorney.' Weaver moved to appeal the decision, which was seconded by Greene, but no vote or discussion followed. Weddle would go on to adjourn the meeting himself, stating, 'The chair has the ability to adjourn a meeting. We're getting nowhere. The chair is adjourning the meeting. The meeting is adjourned.' With that, the mayor and council members dispersed, and the status of the resolution remained unresolved as of press time Tuesday. Should the public hearing move forward, discussion indicated that it would be a special meeting set for August 20 at 9 a.m. That meeting was confirmed Tuesday by Roberts and Cessna, though Cessna acknowledged there had been no further discussion of a legal review. Attempts to contact Bryson for confirmation were unsuccessful as of press time. In preliminary research, The Sentinel-Echo found no specific reference to scheduling a hearing but did find the following clause as part of KRS 83A.040 in regard to removal of city officials: 'Except in cities of the first class, any elected officer, in case of misconduct, incapacity, or willful neglect in the performance of the duties of his or her office, may be removed from office by a unanimous vote of the members of the legislative body exclusive of any member to be removed, who shall not vote in the deliberation of his or her removal. No elected officer shall be removed without having been given the right to a full public hearing. The officer, if removed, shall have the right to appeal to the Circuit Court of the county and the appeal shall be on the record. No officer so removed shall be eligible to fill the office vacated before the expiration of the term to which originally elected.' Solve the daily Crossword
