Seven Hundred Well Fed Lawmakers and Staff Agree- Farm Bureau's Farm City Festival Lunch was a Great Success
Wed, 31 Mar 2010 5:48:44 CDT
Oklahoma Farm Bureau Women fed around 700 staffers and lawmakers at the State Capitol on Tuesday as a part of their Farm City Festival celebration, and Oklahoma Farm Bureau Lobbyist Lori Peterson was all smiles as she greeted lawmakers and Farm Bureau members alike on the first floor of the Capitol midday.
Peterson says that this traditional grass roots lunch is a big hit with everyone at the Capitol- and it definitely makes her job a lot easier as she and Tyler Norvell promote the Farm Bureau agenda to lawmakers. We talked with Peterson about the 2010 legislative session and got an update on Farm Bureau's legislative priorities, including the Equine Dentistry/Animal Husbandry bill, HB 3202. We also discussed Farm Bureau's decision to join a coalition of other groups to oppose State Question 744 that will be on the Oklahoma ballot this fall.
