LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor, Recently, I spent 40 days in the skilled nursing part of Heritage here in Tecumseh. After a couple days reconciling myself to find out that I was to spend 40 days there due to an IV antibiotic I needed, I adjusted and actually began to like the place.

Tecumseh Golden Age Center

Greetings from the Golden Age Center. Hope you remembered to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day and escaped all the pinches!!

The Adventures of Merle Blades

A very few of our readers may recall the fall of 1955. In September of that year, I was a pimply- faced, skinny, frightened 13-year-old freshman sitting in Merle Blades’ required freshman VoAg class with about 25 other Hoosier boys in Paris Crossing High School in Southern Indiana.

Senate Report

The Senate recently passed the first major deadline of this legislative session. To remain eligible for consideration this year, bills had to be heard in Senate committees by March 5 to continue advancing through the legislative process.

Legislative Deadlines Keep Work Moving Forward

Work at the Capitol continues to move at a steady pace as we reach one of the most important checkpoints of the legislative session. Early March always brings an important deadline, when House bills must advance out of oversight committees if they are going to remain part of the legislative process.

It was a busy week at the Capitol

What a week this has been at the Capitol, as it was the final week for bills to be heard in oversight committees. This time typically offers very passionate debates as lawmakers work hard to push their bills closer to the finish line.

Positive energy = brain health

Members of the Golden Age Center have enjoyed the spring-like weather after being closed for 4 days during our snows! We thank the volunteers from the area churches that deliver meals to our home-bound members.

Williams reflects on busy week at Capitol

Another full week at the Capitol has come and gone, and I am reminded daily what a privilege it is to serve the people of District 28. This week included time on the House floor reviewing legislation and engaging in debate on issues that matter to our state.

Motherhood

For the past five days, Mr. Right and I were on the front lines of what can only be described as Grandparent Babysitting Bootcamp. Our two grandsons (9 and 5), who conveniently reside next door, were left in our care while their parents took a much-needed, child-free vacation.

Ensuring Taxpayer Dollars

As we move deeper into the legislative session, we are creating bills that keep you in mind. One of our biggest priorities is to protect Oklahoma taxpayers and ensure government programs serve the people they were intended to help.
