Oklahoma Farm Bureau Helps Form Coalition to Fight SQ744

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 6:43:33 CDT

Oklahoma Farm Bureau Helps Form Coalition to Fight SQ744 Oklahoma Farm Bureau has aligned itself with a coalition that hopes to stop State Question 744 from becoming law this fall in the state of Oklahoma. The Coalition was introduced in a News Conference on Thursday.


The Coalition is calling itself the OneOklahoma Coalition and on their Facebook page, they describe themselves as "One Oklahoma Coalition is a non-partisan, diverse statewide association of individuals and organizations working together to safeguard the progress being made in our schools and across our state."


This group is being formed to do battle with the Oklahoma Education Association and other supporters of SQ744, which has also been called the Hope Initiative. It is a measure that would require that the state of Oklahoma fund common education in the state at the level of the regional average- and that anytime that regional average goes up- which it would if we increased our spending for common education- our constitutional obligation would go up even further.


Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Mike Spradling joined leaders of the Oklahoma Public Employees Association and the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce at a News Conference on Thursday- and you can listen to the opening statements from these organizations by clicking on the Listen Bar below.

The Coalition has a website- but it appears not be setup at this point- they do have a Facebook page setup and you can click here to see their Facebook page which has limited information at this point.
