Oklahoma Jazz Hall Of Fame Pays Past-Due Bills

okjazz.org

The head of the cash-strapped Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame says arrangements have been made to pay past-due bills for its workers' compensation premium and property insurance.

Executive Director Jason McIntosh says a check for about $11,200 for the workers' compensation premium should be wired Wednesday to State Farm Insurance and that more than $2,900 owed to Tulsa County for property insurance has been sent to the county.

State Farm attorney Rick White said Wednesday he had no information of the check clearing. Calls to two county commissioners about the property insurance bill were not immediately returned.

The Tulsa-based nonprofit has a history of making late payments to cover expenses dating back to 2012, when it had to raise more than $75,000 to pay overdue debts or face eviction.
