Borrowing More Money, Wind Power Taxes & Town Halls

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 having to once again borrow money, this time $31M to pay for operational expenses, lawmakers sending Governor Fallin a measure to end tax credits for the wind industry this summer rather than in 2021 and an e-mail causes controversy when it warns House pages of "crossdressers" in the building.

The trio also discusses town hall meetings being held by Oklahoma's Congressional Delegation as they return home from Washington and a new public-private partnership between the state and the Kaiser Family Foundation hopes to get more women out of prison.
