Right Thinking: Let governors govern | The Journal Record

7/31/2022

An ineffective executive branch is one of the primary weaknesses of Oklahoma’s state constitution, says OCPA scholar Andrew Spiropoulos. We need to let governors govern.


Oklahomans, of all political hues, because of our particular history, occasionally criticize their leaders, especially their governors, just for doing their job, as if it violates our political ethics when a governor dares to lead.

Free Market Friday: Learning the lessons of Project Ocean | The Journal Record

“As Thomas Sowell noted, ‘It is so easy to be wrong – and to persist in being wrong – when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.’ Oklahoma policymakers have an opportunity to prevent this reality in the future.”


This year, Oklahoma officials touted “Project Ocean,” a nearly $700 million corporate-welfare program. Now the results are in: Project Ocean failed.

Major irregularities found in school spending reports

A cursory review of the state’s Oklahoma Cost Accounting System (OCAS), a program that compiles financial data from all public-school districts, quickly identified significant irregularities, including reports showing Oklahoma schools spent nearly a quarter-million dollars on firearms that were labeled as nutrition services and other non-weapon categories.

    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.

We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement...

 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.​
