I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

So when we say Oklahoma has the 2nd "worse" legislature in the nation, it's Congress that's the number one worst. I get it now.

This is from The Lost Ogle. Apparently the Daily Oklahoman, that definitive source of news, sports and weather on Bizarro World, has laid all the state's budget woes squarely on us Democrats. Never mind that the Republicans enjoy super majorities in both legislative branches and they have a compliant, ideologically driven governor. https://www.thelostogle.com/2017/10/02/the-oklahoman-blames-democrats-for-states-continued-dysfunction/

Sounds about right - Coburn and Keating... I used to think that at least Coburn had a semblance of a brain, but he has shown it is gone for years now. And Keating - just another small scale, wannabe, Trump. I don't even bother with that paper since I can just go directly to their source - the Murdoch Clown Show to see what they are gonna parrot.

You won't be able to fly without it. http://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a13027232/new-passport-rules-domestic-flights/

We've done more than know about it, Oklahoma legislators voted unanimously to reject REAL ID in 2007.

GOP Reaches Budget Agreementhttp://publicradiotulsa.org/post/gop-reaches-budget-agreementGovernor Fallin and the Republican leadership of the House and Senate announce a budget agreement. The announcement was made at a state capitol news conference this morning:
If passed by the Legislature, the agreement would:
Place a $1.50 tax on a package of cigarettes.
Provide for a 6-cent fuel tax increase.
Revise taxes on alcoholic beverages.
Restore the Earned Income Tax credit.
Provide for a $3,000 teacher pay increase, effective Aug. 1, 2018.
Provide for a $1,000 increase for state employees, effective Aug. 1, 2018. It does not pertain to higher education, legislators or constitutional officers, such as statewide elected officials and judges.
The plan does not include an increase in the gross production tax on oil and natural gas. That is something Democrats have demanded.

Anybody know what they got on him? Inman Quits Oklahoma Governor's Race, Will Resign from Legislaturehttp://publicradiotulsa.org/post/inman-quits-oklahoma-governors-race-will-resign-legislatureOklahoma House Minority Leader Scott Inman announced he is no longer running for governor — and he’s resigning from the legislature at the beginning of 2018.
Inman made the announcement on Facebook and Twitter Wednesday afternoon as the House debated Republicans’ $442 million plan to fix the state budget.
Inman did not vote Wednesday on Republicans’ budget proposal and was only briefly on the floor to ask questions about it.
"Why is it financially smart for us to vote for a plan that would require more one-time money and still leave a $400 million budget hole next year?" Inman said.
Inman said he can no longer ask his wife and children to sacrifice for him in his political career. He says he’s staying to see special session work completed.
He encouraged Oklahomans to continue pushing for public education, health care, criminal justice reform and a fair tax structure.
