Education Sales Tax, Ten Commandments & Private Prisons

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about an initiative petition launched by OU President David Boren to raise a penny sales tax to pay for education, a lawsuit against another Ten Commandments monument (this one in southern Oklahoma), and the cost of private prisons on the state.

The trio also discusses the visit by Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson and the support by major players in the Oklahoma Democratic Party for Hillary Clinton.
