They point to the previous plan, Vision 2025, as evidence that using sales tax money for public projects can pay off for the city. 

A group called Citizens For A Better Vision opposes the new Vision plan. They want it scrapped and replaced by a different plan on the ballot in the fall.

Some north Tulsans joined the group, saying the plan doesn't reflect what they want.

The group is focused on money for the river, which they believe could be better spent on projects to bring business to north Tulsa.

Elsewhere, voters in Bixby will decide an OG&E franchise, Collinsville will be voting on a Vision sales Tax, Glenpool will decide on three Vision propositions that would pay for public works, police and fire equipment as well as police and fire personnel.
