LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor; Beware; your wishes might become true. Suppose…just suppose…the high priests and prophetesses of the religion of Climate Change (aka Global Warming, aka New Green Deal) saw their dream of no fossil fuels in the United States come true.

CAPITOL NOTES

After last week’s deadline to pass bills out of committees, we spent many long days on the House floor hearing and voting on those remaining bills. I presented one of my bills on the floor, where it passed 81-15.

Last Week To Request Absentee Ballots

The deadline to request absentee ballots by mail is approaching. Applications must be received by the County Election Board no later than 5 p.m.

Senate Notes

We’re continuing to focus on floor work ahead of the March 24 deadline for the full Senate to vote on measures that began in this chamber. If you’ve ever wondered why we need to enact new laws, I can point to several good measures we approved this past week to demonstrate why this is necessary.

Senate Review

As many of you know, we lost a pillar of the Seminole community and friend of the entire state on Mar. 5. Mrs. Jasmine Moran was extremely generous and cared for all of Oklahoma’s youth and students, and she will be sorely missed.

Senate Review

This past week was extremely busy here at the Capitol as we worked to complete voting on Senate bills filed in our chamber ahead of the March 3 deadline to advance them from our committees. Of the 800 measures initially filed, we approved nearly 400 of them.

Mr. Right Is A Natural Born Nurturer

“I hab a bad code in my node.” sniff, cough, ah-CHoo! Sorry, but that’s how I sound right now, nasally and stuffy and I can’t breath. It’s one of those irritating colds that I caught from Mr. Right who caught it from the grandchildren. No blame in that statement.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, What a Wednesday! Our first bicycle ride out of our new Tecumseh location kicked off with a nice crowd the evening of March 2nd. We had 29 riders for this first of what will be a weekly event.

Senate Notes

After losing a couple of work days the previous week due to dangerous driving conditions after the sleet and ice storms, we returned to the Capitol this past Monday with our work cut out for us.

CAPITOL REPORT

Inflation is at a 40-year high, and House Republicans are working to provide tax relief to Oklahomans this session. The House Rules Committee approved five bills that the Legislature can choose from to grant much-needed financial relief.
