House Democrats Call Republican Leadership a Failure

House Democrats want to declare a state of emergency because of Republican leadership. Thirty Democrats held a press conference presenting a lengthy resolution which blames Republicans for the budget and other issues. They call it a “disaster declaration due to leadership failure.”

The Democrats are blaming tax cuts for the revenue failures and the $1.3 billion budget gap for next fiscal year. The resolution calls on the federal government for assistance in securing services for the state’s most vulnerable citizens.

House Minority Leader Scott Inman also called for citizens to file for office against Republicans “to aid in this effort by filing for office this week to address the lack of leadership, and for voters to go to the polls this fall and hold to account those who are responsible for this travesty.”

The House Democrats push their points of view on various issues such as education funding, State Health Department budgets, reductions for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, mental health issues, funding for the Department of Human Services, prisons, public safety, and transportation money.

They also call for all eligible voters to vote this November.

    If Senator Inman will furnish me proof that he has sent a check to the Tax Commission to make up for the lowered tax rate enacted by the Republicans, I will do likewise.

    The Republican base in this state has been steadily leading us in the same direction that Governor Scott Walker (WI) and even Kansas has taken. AND if you look at the fiscal condition of each of these states you will see a small glimpse into the future of this state IF something isn’t done about it on this election cycle. I personally would answer to the Senators call for citizens to run against the incumbents that are destroying this state, but this isn’t possible for me personally, (I have a felony, 25 years ago) BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE THAT CAN RUN, TO FILE AS INDEPENDENT, DEMOCRAT, OR EVEN LIBERTARIAN (which is now a party on the ballots)
