Dislikes
Amends increasing Economic Development Pool cap amount to $125 million from $100 million. The OKGOP platform states we support sunset laws, zero-based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs. The senate amended to make effective JULY 1 instead of NOVEMBER 1, 2026 apparently they are in a hurry to get $$$ for their cronies.
