While some are using COVID-19 as an excuse for not getting necessary reforms passed, others are declaring spending taxpayer money as this session's greatest accomplishment. Despite all of that, lawmakers will still receive a 35% raise come November.


When they effectively ended the session, lawmakers left with few accomplishments to tout.

Remember when OKC, Norman, and Tulsa mayors continued to keep cities closed after Governor Kevin Stitt issued reopening orders? Check out the top story on our government overreach tracker. Turns out, the legality of those mayoral orders may have been shaky at best.

School Districts Owe Taxpaying Parents a COVID-19 Refund

5/28/2020

Comments

 
Oklahoma families deserve a refund. The money should be placed in a restricted-use education savings account that parents could use to pay for virtual tutors, online learning, textbooks, diagnostic tests, and other products and services.


A COVID-19 refund would build on the principle that education funding should always be student-centered and portable, rather than institutional.

    Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs

      For 25 years, OCPA has served as Oklahoma’s largest and most influential free-market based think tank. We conduct research and analysis of public issues in Oklahoma from a perspective of limited government, individual liberty, and a free-market economy.
      Over the years, OCPA has steadily increased in breadth, scope and ultimately, effectiveness. As long as government exists, there needs to be an organization to keep it accountable. In Oklahoma, we are that organization. And our policy work provides the road map for our state’s success.
      Policy matters because people matter. It matters that students attend high-quality schools. It matters that small business owners are free from red tape. It matters that government is responsible and limited. It matters that the most vulnerable have access to opportunity.
      And you matter to us.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
