Quote of the Day 9/7/2016 - Oklahoma Policy Institute

“We keep scouring through the data to find signs of an impending turnaround, but it’s just not there. Some aspects of the August report aren’t as negative as in prior months – a few revenue streams have ticked up slightly – but we can’t yet point to a positive trend.”
