More time has been put on the clock for backers of the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum to win legislative support for the half-built facility.
And former University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer could soon be working to see if any of his Sooner magic can sway lawmakers to appropriate $40 million for the project in downtown Oklahoma City.
A bill that would have transferred the cultural center to the Oklahoma Historical Society won’t be heard this year, said Rep. Don Armes, chairman of the House of Representatives Budget Subcommittee on Natural Resources and Regulatory Services. The panel had been scheduled to hear Senate Bill 511 on Monday.
