Quote of the Day 6/29/2015

“The governor’s office is as guilty as the Legislature of pre-empting our ability to run the city as we have for years. You would hope that people in the Legislature would try to make our job easier and better for the citizens of Oklahoma City rather than the special interests that seem to control their votes with regard to pre-emption.”

-Oklahoma City Councilman Pete White, speaking about a growing number of state laws that prevent municipal officials from determining what goes on in their cities (Source)
