Groundbreaking win in Oklahoma! 🎉
The passage & signing of #HB1460 is a milestone moment in the #EndJusticeFees campaign – a bipartisan movement for reform built and led by FFJC that has achieved criminal justice fee elimination in states across the country.

🚨 BREAKING: Oklahoma's fee elimination bill has cleared the State Legislature!
Sponsored by @RepTammyWest & Sen. Todd Gollihare, #HB1460 will end several fees across Oklahoma’s justice system when signed into law. The bill now heads to @GovStitt’s desk for signature.

Is Oklahoma considering a bill that would alter the validity of collected signatures in its initiative petition process? @factbriefs

This is such a harsh bill - just look at the contrast to how hard the poorest people get hit and how much the richest benefit -- seriously, what are they doing and why?
TPC and @urbaninstitute research finds that offsetting the costs of TCJA extension with cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would cause a significant loss in net income for low-income families. urbn.is/4kbABzO

Reminder, this governor, let @OKTurnpike update their system to plate-play without thinking through Tribal tag compacts. #PersonalResponsibility

The Legislature ought to override vetoes on bills that would help women with cancer and missing or murdered Indigenous women. Oklahoma women are worth it, says columnist Ginnie Graham. tulsaworld.com/opinion/colum…

Updated this to include a new map showing locations of fires + Forestry Services resources March 14.
While a few staff/trucks are still unaccounted for, the info contradicts the governor's claim that "half" were not deployed.
But info delays remain 🧐 nondoc.com/2025/04/07/after-…

DOGE-OK's “own goal” has deeply harmed Oklahoma at a time when we desperately need these federal funds to help with an Oklahoma Public Health Lab that is barely functioning and bottom of the nation health measures. Money Oklahomans spent on federal taxes just got thrown into a burn barrel.
Re: DOGE-OK report today identified $157 million in “wasteful” health care grants.
From OK Policy: “Taxpayer dollars should be spent wisely, but cutting health care funds is both counterproductive and harmful."

Oklahoma Policy Institute retweeted
Our own @GraycenWheeler has become a reluctant federal cut expert in Oklahoma. She uncovered quite the planned cut today: 30 years after the OKC federal building bombing, the Trump Administration is considering shuttering the facility built to replace it. kosu.org/local-news/2025-03-…
