It is late Sunday night, May 15. In a little over 16 hours, Oklahoma's Senate and House Joint Committees on Appropriations and Budget will meet, but the agendas have not been posted. #oklaed#okleg
It is wrong for Oklahoma's budget bills to be dropped so close to the meeting giving no opportunity for legislators to have time to read bills and be prepared to consider them. #oklaed#okleg
The budgeting process in Oklahoma lacks transparency and fairness. Citizens deserve better governance. #oklaed#okleg
