Walkout ends...so what's next? Apr 14, 2018

Show notes

As the walkout winds down, we wonder "What's Next?" for education advocates and the legislature. We discuss those questions and the record number of people who have filed to run for office.

Buyer's Remorse Mar 30, 2018

Show notes

The Oklahoma legislature raised taxes for the first time since 1990, but has already repealed some of the increases. We discuss how that all went down and what it means for the future, as well as the remaining potential for a teacher walk out.

Emergency Pod - OK House passed a tax increase Mar 28, 2018

Show notes

For the first time since 1990, the OK House of Representatives passed a revenue package by achieving the required 75% majority of votes. The package funds a pay raise for teachers and public employees, but not everyone is happy, and the future of the bill is not certain.

Education & Partisanship (with Senator Greg McCortney) Mar 23, 2018

Show notes

We discuss the HIV education bill and compare the various plans to increase education funding. We also chat with Oklahoma state Senator Greg McCortney about social media usage, education funding, partisanship, and his advice on how voters can engage with the legislature.

These books were made for walking Mar 18, 2018

Show notes

With a teacher walk-out looming on the horizon, we visited with several teachers to get their thoughts and feelings on the subject. Scott and guest co-host John Rorke also discuss the weekly run-down of OK Capitol news, including the announcement that Oklahoma will resume executions, this time using...nitrogen gas?

Post-partisanship, co-ed dorms, and the end of special session. Mar 06, 2018

Show notes

Special sends draws to an end, giving way to the 2018 regular session bills, which include some good ones, bad ones, and downright odd ones. We also begin a discussion on post-partisanship in this highly partisan era.

Will you be my legislative valentine? Feb 17, 2018

Show notes

The debate (and fate) of the Step Up plan, more Health Department shenanigans, unlikely partisan team-ups, and some deliciously nerdy #oklegvalentines tweets.

State of the State (Live Recording) Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

Following Governor Fallin's unusually brief State of State address, we visit with two voters (Nickolai & Courtney), a policy wonk (David Blatt), and a state representative (Marcus McEntire) to get a variety of responses to what the Governor had to say. [Apologies for sound quality - the Capitol is loud and we were trying out some new sound equipment!]

Groundhog Day Predictions Feb 02, 2018

Show notes

We look for our shadows and cast our predictions for the upcoming State of the State address and legislative session. There's also a discussion of "Friends" and Andy impersonates a woodland creature.

Remember: on February 5th we'll be recording at the State Capitol following the State of the State address. We'd love to get your thoughts as well!

Mark your calendars! Feb 02, 2018

Show notes

The 2018 Legislative session is upon us, and Let's Fix This has a bunch of great events scheduled for this spring. Here's a quick preview, and we hope to see you there.
