House Democrats
House Democrats will work with Gov. Fallin and state Republican leaders to ensure critical funding reaches our citizens and first responders in a timely manner after this week’s natural disasters around Oklahoma, Democratic Leader Scott Inman, D-Del City, said.
Using the state’s overflowing Rainy Day Fund for disaster relief is a proper use of the emergency fund, said Leader Inman.
Additionally, House Democrats are relieved state troopers will receive a much-needed pay raise.
“House Democrats were excited to learn the Republican leaders had finally agreed to fund a trooper pay raise,” said Leader Inman. “Democrats have called upon the governor and Republican leaders to do this all session long. And while it is unfortunate that it took a natural disaster to make properly funding our public safety officers a priority, we are nevertheless thrilled to know that our brave men and women serving on the front lines of public safety will get the pay raise they deserve.”
