State Senator Sues Over Tulsa Bond Project

Posted: Updated:

Oklahoma City -

A state senator from Enid is suing to stop a $25 million state bond issue to fund improvements to Tulsa's Zink Lake Dam.

Republican Sen. Patrick Anderson filed the lawsuit in Oklahoma County against the Oklahoma Capital Improvement Authority, Tulsa County, the City of Tulsa, Tulsa's River Parks Authority and others.

He claims the use of a state bond issue on the project is unconstitutional.

Anderson says bonds were originally approved by the state legislature in 2009 to match $50 million in federal funding that never materialized.
