Quote of the Day 7/5/2016 - Oklahoma Policy Institute

“Candidates ran on a platform pushing the smallest possible government and the lowest possible tax burden. It all sounded so good but soon this platform became an addiction. Like an addiction, all logic was ignored around the importance of education, health and economic opportunity. No matter the damage to our children’s future, and ourselves we pushed for and elected proponents of smaller government and lower taxes.”

-Dr. Gerard Clancy, president-designate of the University of Tulsa (Source)
