Episode 226
We're back! (What's all this about "fake math?")
Andy and Scott return from break and jump right into the issue that's taking up all the oxygen in Oklahoma politics right now - education. Specifically, why is State Superintendent (and Education Secretary) Ryan Walters all over the news this week?
- Ryan Walters presented his budget to the State Board of Education (NonDoc)
- Why OK is paying the State Superintendent More Than the Governor (Oklahoma Watch)
- Thousands of bills filed this year, roughly half of which are shell bills.
- We’re watching several that deal with the Initiative Petition process, elections, voting, and more.
- Also, an honorable mention news story from earlier this month: In what should be a shock to no one, OSDH is taking back control of Public Health Lab (The Frontier)
