Statement From Senator Larry Dickerson, Chairman Senate Appropriations Subcommittee On Transportation And General Government, And Author Of SB 393 (Senate "Lease-Back" Program)

"I haven't seen all the details of their plan, but I am glad House Republicans have joined the debate about how to improve Oklahoma's road and highway system. I look at their proposal as another option on the table. I still believe the Senate program is the best option available, but obviously we need to find common ground among the various proposals that have been introduced.

The bottom line is we must do something substantial to improve Oklahoma's roads and highways this year."
