"When state revenues grow, we should set money
aside for harder times."
"Oklahomans expect and deserve their tax dollars
to be spent wisely. That's why I want every other
legislative session set aside to focus on the budget
and the budget only."
"We need to make health care more affordable for
individuals, small businesses and senior citizens.
We should allow Oklahomans to buy less-expensive
prescription drugs from Canada."
"We need to improve education at all levels both
with greater investment and higher performance
standards. Teachers who become more qualified in
math and science, and businesses that help them
should get tax credits."
"No child in Oklahoma should go to bed hungry!
No family with wage-earners working full time should
live below the poverty line. Working families need
an increase in the minimum wage. They haven't had
one in almost a decade."
