Senate Majority Floor Leader Ted Fisher
“We heard today, for the third straight year, from a governor who believes in Oklahoma. We agree with him. Oklahoma is a great place to live, work and raise a family and we are proud to join Governor Henry as we build on the great strides we have made in the last two years.
“Supporting our teachers, our students, our men and women in the military, small business and working families remain at the center of the governor’s agenda and our agenda because we believe it is truly an agenda for Oklahoma.”

Senate Republican Leader Glenn Coffee of Oklahoma City made the following statement following the State of the State address by Gov. Brad Henry:

“Senate Republicans are pleased to hear that Gov. Henry has adopted so many longtime Republican proposals – from workers’ comp reform to tax relief to rigorous standards and accountability in our public schools. We are also pleased to hear his acknowledgement that real lawsuit reform is still needed in Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma State Senate is once again leading the way in utilizing the latest technology for more open government and better public service. President Pro Tempore Cal Hobson has announced the Senate is now officially Oklahoma’s newest wireless internet hot-spot.

“We’re very excited about this latest innovation. It means that visitors to the Senate will be able to have full internet access through their wireless laptop computers. They’ll be able to access legislation, streaming and digital audio, web-based email and more,” Hobson said.
