Dislikes
SB 330 isn’t the policy—it’s the setup for what comes next. On its face, SB 330 is low-impact. But historically: Studies = roadmap for future regulation or spending The real issue isn’t the study itself—it’s: What they plan to do with the results? Questions to Pressure Legislators What specific problem is this study trying to solve? Why is the OSU Veterinary Authority the right entity? Will this lead to: New regulations on landowners? Expanded wildlife control programs? Is there a cost—and who is funding it? What safeguards ensure this doesn’t become a justification for more government expansion?
Two million dollars for OSU to study the elk in Oklahoma? No. Quit spending Oklahoman's money on pet projects until you've abolished property taxes.
