Um, if there's going to be a new #okleg drinking game can we not add 2 squares based upon "conceal and carry" and whether the D's mean guns, the R's mean pot, vice versa or really whether it's the press corps vaping on the 5th floor xitter.cf/CathJSweeney/status/98…
Pack up your beady-eyed little brother Ritze as well please. xitter.cf/OKHouseNews/status/984…
The Committee has met, and decided that a formal filing would just get in the way of happy hour. And after the last few days, OK is in more need of a stiff drink than another politician.
We will however, participate in debates and mockery of all political parties.

Welcome to the jungle xitter.cf/stephaniebice/status/9…
These House Freshmen Republicans have taken it in the pants for Greasy Ass McCall for 2 years, and what do they have to show for it?
A). Primary and General election opponents
(why not vote for a new speaker and try to salvage our state)

We'll call it Blue Genes Jenneralities in honor of @genelewisperry's mom, Virginia Blue Jeans Jenner xitter.cf/thricesavage/status/98…
I would like to encourage @GeneLewisPerry and @TeamStipe to pair up for an #okleg podcast called "Genes at the Capitol."
10 months #okleg.
but throw in the hotel tax too now. xitter.cf/TeamStipe/status/93172…
Yo this dude can see the future!
...or is just very well versed in the #okleg past. xitter.cf/OKLawmaker/status/9784…
Duuuuuude. Don’t brag. Just get through this first. 🤦🏼♂️ xitter.cf/repjoshcockroft/status…
Let's assume pitchforks and a trip to 23rd and Lincoln.
Anyone watching #okleg today (or for a decade) should be done done assuming "positive intent."
#okleg is going to smoke and mirror this thing all the way until the end of the school year and then do whatevs they want. xitter.cf/deborahgist/status/979…
Guys, this is a whirlwind. Let’s all take a breath or two.
We can’t turn on each other & do/say some of what I’m observing.
Wherever you are coming from—student, parent, teacher, administrator or elected official, let’s assume positive intent & seek solutions.

The "voice of the people" at the #okleg can only speak so much cowardice in one day. xitter.cf/billmiston/status/9794…
If a $5 increase is affecting your profit margin so bad you aren't running a freaking hotel -- you're running a shantytown slum.
And I bet there are more hotel neighbors than slumlords who vote out there. #okleg so far up special interest arses, they forgettin how to count votes xitter.cf/TeamStipe/status/97944…
Now wait a cotton pickin' minute. The Hotel Association shows up once to protest a $5 tax they don't even have to pay and the #okleg shrivels?
Meanwhile teachers, superintendents, state workers, health care, parents, KIDS are there daily and #okleg is all *shrug whut do*? xitter.cf/tbrownOKC/status/97943…

#okleg House votes 69-26 on bill to remove the $5 per night hotel tax (originally part of the tax package to pay for the teacher pay bill, it would've raised about $47M a year) ... this clears the way for the Senate to send the tax bill to @GovMaryFallin
