On today’s episode we are talking about how we could raise the minimum wage for Tulsa workers - and the uphill battle it will be. Then Landry talks to former mayoral candidate, Craig Immel, about his vision of moving Tulsa forward and some of the ways we can address poverty in this city, as well as using technology to bring us into the 21st century.
