Firefighter praises Eagleton: "A man of your word"
Thursday, 15 July 2010 08:20

The following e-mail, received on July 8, 2010, is published here with the writer's permission:  

Councilor Eagleton, I wanted to thank you for your support and level head throughout this past year. You always remained steadfast in your position and beliefs and I truly appreciate that. I won’t say that I always agreed but I will always respect a man who is consistent and you sir are just that. You asked us (City of Tulsa Employees) to make some sacrifices (wages, benefits, etc.) for the city and great citizens that we serve in order to maintain the great service levels that they deserve. You also said that you would fight to restore those sacrifices once the city was on better financial ground. You did just that. You are a man of your word and I wanted to say thank you.  I have little confidence in our current administration but I have all the confidence in the world in you. Thank you.
