Some things to watch for ahead of today's big #okleg tax vote: Just a reminder this will need 75% to pass since it's a revenue bill. That means 76 yes votes in the 101 chamber is needed. There is one vacancy so that's basically a no to start off with. 1/

. @dallasschools is relentless is their recruitment of #Oklaed teachers. This was a sponsored post in my Facebook news feed today. Hope the #okleg will finally take this seriously & do something about the thousands of jobs we’re losing to Texas.

okpolicy.org/statement-gover… We agree with our friends at @OKPolicy that the current plan is only a "first step". @GovMaryFallin @OKHouseofReps & @OKSENATEINFO have more to fix this session, including state employee compensation #OKleg

kgou.org/post/capitol-inside… In this interview @GovMaryFallin mentions "kicking the can down the road" several times, yet she ignores low state employee pay her own study shows as 25% below market and wastes $125 million annually. #OKLeg. NO PLAN WITHOUT A STATE EMPLOYEE PAY RAISE

It’s not just that Okla state employees have not had a raise in 11 years. It’s that they make LESS every year with higher health ins costs and a frozen benefit allowance. Thank you @jdunnington for taking action to help Okla state workers! #OKleg #HB3144
