Legislature Second Half, Education Funding & Scott Pruitt

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about the state legislature reaching the halfway point in the session, leaders of the House and Senate announce they hope to limit cuts to common education to little or nothing in the upcoming fiscal year and Scott Pruitt faces an investigation by the Oklahoma Bar Association on accusations of lying to a U.S. Senate committee during his confirmation hearing to head the Environmental Protection Agency.

The trio also discusses the results of primary elections for Oklahoma County Sheriff and rumors that State Auditor and Inspector Gary Jones might be considering a run for governor next year.
