Newberry: Nine Common Sense Ways To Fund Education
Nine common sense ways to fund education
By SEN. DAN NEWBERRY
With the state facing a budget crisis, it’s especially important we work to ensure tax dollars are used effectively and look for reforms to provide efficiencies.
This year, the Senate has passed important reforms to cut through red tape in education, eliminate duplicated overhead in public safety and reform the budget process to provide more transparency and allow the state to prepare better for future emergencies.
These reforms will help us deal with the current budget crisis while providing Oklahoma with a smaller, smarter, more effective government.
It is all about prioritizing what is most important for our families and our future generations. I have identified many areas of waste where we are currently spending money that need to be reduced to help solve our education problems with the state.
