Senate Leader Applauds Positive Tone Of Henry’s State of the State Address

Statement from Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan

“We heard from Governor Henry today a positive message for Oklahoma. I was especially encouraged by the Governor’s recognition that this session provides a great opportunity for us to invest in the future of our state.

“I honestly believe that we have to make this session about more than just the next election. We must, instead, turn our focus to the next generation. I believe, from what we heard today, the governor understands that.

“Specifically this afternoon, I noted areas where the Governor’s agenda aligned with ours. He’s endorsed a back-to-school sales tax holiday, the expansion of the state’s premium assistance program and additional resources for rural fire departments.

“I am certain there are many other areas where we will be able to agree and I look forward to working with Governor Henry in the coming session as we move Oklahoma forward.”
