I have some bad news for the hotel/motel lobby... Conventions won’t stay away from Oklahoma because of a $5 per night fee. They’ll stay away because it’s Oklahoma. We may have better luck with conventions by removing THAT from the budget. #OkLeg #OklaEd

How about a bill that gives teachers thousands more pieces of green paper with "In God We Trust" on it? 💵 #okleg #oklaed xitter.cf/KOSURadio/status/96568…
A bill passed out of a Senate committee today would force Oklahoma schools to display the national motto 'In God We Trust' in every classroom. #okleg kosu.org/post/bill-would-req…

Out of the 35 No votes for HB1033, 17 Dems, 18 GOP 2 didn't vote, Dem & Rep each 1 vacancy (Biggs seat)
As the Oklahoma Legislature careens toward a second special session, it's worth noting a state board could have ended a tax break for the upper class that costs about $100 million annually. It voted not to yesterday. #okleg newsok.com/state-board-votes… – at Oklahoma City, OK

Little know fact: There is an active oil well at the capitol. Company did drill until they struck the state general revenue fund.

If you look up at capitol rotunda ceiling, it almost look like giant speaker cone. If it could speak, is would gentle whisper "Give oil their money."

Last time I checked, OU was a top 100 university nationally...I’m pretty sure JB would not even be considered a top 100 legislator in the state...🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ xitter.cf/rkrehbiel/status/93086…
Bennett: OU wants students to have abortions.

The only thing more perfect than the appointment of a public safety commissioner in Oklahoma named Rusty Rhoades would be a state board of education member named Ed Poore. #OkLeg #OklaEd xitter.cf/markdeanallen/status/9…
Congratulations to the new public safety commissioner Rusty Rhoades

Seems like this Alabama situation is perfect for @TeamStipe to stand and say “I’m the crook!” Missed opportunity.

The #OKleg is taking a beating today, but on the bright side, the Capitol has never looked better.

Oklahoma lawmaker @GeorgeFaught uses his debate time to teach a history lesson, since he’s cut money for all history classes in Oklahoma. #OkLeg

#okleg is woefully lacking in effective debaters. It is hard to persuade people who can't even tell what you are trying to say. Just let us know who your biggest donors are and move along.

Do they really think this is the best way to hide what is going on at the Oklahoma Capitol?

One possibility: Leadership knows it will fail, but wants to put enough R votes on the board to blame Ds for not getting to 76.
