Medical Marijuana, the Race for Governor & Teacher Pay

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 election in Oklahoma which made medical marijuana legal in the state and saw a runoff election without Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb, but instead between former Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett and Tulsa businessman Kevin Stitt.

The trio also discusses a runoff in the Republican Attorney General's race between incumbent Mike Hunter and challenger Gentner Drummond as well as other election results and the State Supreme Court shoots down a referendum petition to eliminate a tax increase for pay raises to teachers, school support staff and state workers.
