OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon
(R-Lawton) issued the following statement today in response to Gov. Mary
Fallin’s State-of-the-State Address:
“I stand firmly with Gov. Fallin in her commitment to
conservative policies and her willingness to further create opportunity and
prosperity for Oklahomans.
“We must continue to fight together against overreach from
the federal government into our state sovereignty. I am committed to working
with Gov. Fallin on any initiative that protects our citizens’ inherent rights
and pushes back against the ever-expanding federal debt and uncertainty in
Washington, D.C.
“In addition, I am pleased with the governor’s commitment to
making sure Oklahoma
is producing the kind of highly skilled, highly educated workforce that can
attract and retain high paying jobs.
“Gov. Fallin also expressed the need to eliminate underused
state assets and repair neglected infrastructure. I look forward to working with
Gov. Fallin and Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman to create a system which
will ensure better stewardship of state structures. For too long the model has
been to neglect infrastructure until it is finally decaying around us. We must
institute a system that is efficient and shows we are good stewards of
taxpayers’ money because our state’s assets truly belong to
them.”
