Tobacco Tax, OCPA Ad & Transgender Students

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel and Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill about a bill to increase taxes on cigarettes fails in the House as the clock starts to run out at the State Capitol to create any new revenue to fix the $1.3 billion dollar shortfall.

Also the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs releases a new television ad calling on lawmakers to not raise taxes, Oklahoma leaders get riled up over a directive from the Obama Administration on transgender students and a new poll shows the unfavorable rating of the two assumed nominees for President.
