Fallin's New Job, 2018 Governor's Race & Public Safety

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel and Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill about President-elect Donald Trump naming Governor Mary Fallin as vice-chair for his transitional team and possibly considering her as Interior Secretary. Trump is also talking to other Oklahomans like Attorney General Scott Pruitt and former State House Speaker T.W. Shannon.

Meanwhile, two popular Democrats say they won't be running for the Governor's job, but one former gubernatorial candidate says he's going to enter the race.

The trio also discusses a budget request of $1.65 Billion dollars from the new head of the Department of Corrections and the Department of Public Safety announces cuts.
