Paul Shinn, Budget and Tax Senior Policy Analyst with the Oklahoma Policy Institute, does a fantastic job summarizing how the legislature will even begin building a budget on Monday, what a potential financial crisis means, and the options our state has to cushion the damage for public services.

Also, OEA member and Tahlequah resident Chuck Pack and President Alicia Priest break down the Association's Fund for Children and Public Education, how it helps promote education-friendly candidates outside of member's dues dollars, and how you can create great change by giving just a little.
