Quote of the Day 03/27/2017 - Oklahoma Policy Institute

“We’ve got a deficit in this state, and it is not a deficit in resources. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a deficit of will. There are enough resources in this state to do what we need to do with public education, and if the leaders of this state won’t do it, maybe we need to put a Cherokee in charge.”

Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. speaking at the Cherokee Nation’s Annual Public School Appreciation Day. The Cherokee Nation gave $5 million dollars to Oklahoma public school districts at the event. (Source)
