Education Sales Tax, Anti-Abortion Law & Medical Marijuana

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about State Question 779 to raise sales tax by a penny to pay for teacher raises and other educational needs, the state Supreme Court striking down an anti-abortion bill on parental consent and no challenge to the signatures gathered for a medical marijuana ballot initiative.

The trio also discusses the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to hear appeals from three Oklahoma inmates on death row, the debate between the candidates for Vice President and look ahead to Sunday's second debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
