Could you please get back to me by Tuesday, April 9 if you want to sign on. I hope to get the letter to the Hill on April 10. Your name will be listed with your state and years in office so please send the years! Thanks Feb-17-2017 000001 I have been working with Grant, Terry and Mark for the past several years in encouraging Congress to act. Those in the know believe that the law enforcement perspective provided both through a former AG letter, as well as the one circulating through NAAG/CWAG will make a difference. Please feel free to call one of us if you want to talk further about this. I also attach below former AG Bob Stephan's comments this week at a Kansas City roundtable coordinated by the National Immigration Forum. There are likely to be lots of grass roots opportunities to speak on this topic in the next few months so please let me know if you would like to become more involved. By the way, Mark Shurtleff is on the Forum Board of Directors. Grant and Terry have also been very active in speaking out on immigration issues.

I actually believe it would make the point more forcefully to say something like “immigrants who are or may be in the United States illegally” as it is this status that causes many of the problems we are suggesting need to be fixed. Thanks to all who are taking the lead on this important issue.

If sent, I’d suggest that it be made public, at least to the Hill and to policy community publications.   It seems to me this would also be a logical outgrowth of the fossil energy AGs meeting and could be powerful with a number of signers. It is also the kind of thing that in the future could be run through the clearinghouse we discussed.   Please let me know what you and General Pruitt think, or if we can help further.         Bill William F.

For example, are we Feb-17-2017 000058 inoculating targeted audiences (with supply and other arguments) against knee-jerk reactions against LNG export approvals?

The briefing is part of the legislature’s effort to gather input and information for a comprehensive bill to regulate gas development in the state. Several individual bills to regulate the industry – many containing anti-HF provisions – were defeated in last year’s session.    ISSUES AND STRATEGIES:  The Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) held its annual Winter Conference in Cambridge, MD, this week.  ANGA’s Maryland operatives were able to have good discussions with western Maryland County leaders, leaders in the Maryland legislature and several of the leading candidates for governor.   The powerful President of the state Senate, Democratic Sen. Mike Miller from Prince George’s County, is in favor of drilling in Western Maryland with appropriate regulations.  This is seen as positive news for gas industry interests.     North Carolina   KEY ACTIVITIES:   ANGA is reviewing a list of top priorities for legislation requested by the legislative working group.   ANGA is also reviewing a request by the Senior Policy Advisor to the President Pro Tempore regarding tax provisions for natural gas exploration.  ANGA Feb-17-2017 000060 operative Amy Fullbright of K&L Gates is working to set up meetings for Michelle Bloodworth and others regarding increased demand for natural gas in NC.   Governor-Elect Pat McCrory will legally become Governor Saturday at noon, at a small swearing in in the state Senate’s chambers.  The Governor-Elect wanted to ensure that he was sworn in before the state legislature goes back in session on Wednesday, Jan. 9. A larger, more public inauguration ceremony and inaugural address, followed by a parade, will take place a week later, on Saturday, Jan. 12. McCrory will be North Carolina’s first Republican governor since January 1993.   ANGA’s operative will continue to work with H&K on earned media in NC for the New Year.   ANGA is reviewing a list of top priorities for legislation requested by the legislative working group.   ISSUES AND STRATEGIES:  Governor-Elect McCrory spoke to the NC Bankers Assocation/NC Chamber Economic Forecast Forum on Wednesday, Jan. 2.  Always the premier event to kick off the New Year in NC, McCrory highlighted his goals for his new administration including natural gas exploration.    McCrory said he wants North Carolina to join with Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia to negotiate with the federal government on offshore natural gas and oil drilling. He also wants to put inland gas exploration on the fastest track possible to generate revenue and jobs for the state, as well as energy for the U.S.    "The downside right now is we've started very, very late, and now the gas price has gone very low," he said. "It's going to be a tough, competitive market to begin that process."           Michelle Bloodworth Vice President, State Affairs and Business Development America's Natural Gas Alliance 202-789-ANGA (main) 202-595-4663 (cell) mbloodworth@anga.uswww.anga.us   Confidentiality Warning: This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the intended recipient(s), are confidential, and may be privileged.

As a just-in-case, I could check Chuck’s availability.   The third name was Marty Durbin.

At OCPA, we know income equality -- while appealing to some on its face -- is actually worth precious little if all incomes are depressed to achieve that "equality." Instead of mitigating the motivation of the able-bodied to earn success with tax-and-spend policies, we'd prefer to allow that motivation to manifest itself -- and to subsequently result in a rising standard of living for those who exercise it.

By Brandon Dutcher Feb-17-2017 000740 Voting with their feet  Time to replace Oklahoma's broken, adversarial workers' compensation system State of the State: Top five policy solutions to look forward to in 2013 Gov. Fallin was right to reject Obamacare Medicaid expansion Forward the cause:        When the Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarships for Students with Disabilities program was enacted in 2010, state Rep. Kris Steele correctly noted that the program would honor the memory of Lindsey Nicole Henry and "let it be known for generations to come that she, and her parents, are helping to improve the lives of special-needs children across the state."

Last, a senior writer at the Weekly Standard, has written a new book called What to Expect When No One's Expecting: America's Coming Demographic Disaster. Americans need to start having more babies, Last says. This will require a cultural shift, but Last says public policy can help, too. "The government cannot persuade Americans to have children they do not want, but it can help them to have the children they do want." He gives three starting points, one of which has to do with higher education.   Click to read more on our blog.

Given that Oklahoma's universal preschool program began in 1998, meaning the program's first participants are still teenagers, it's not clear Mr. Obama can be trusted when he says these Oklahomans are now more likely to hold a job and form stable families. Indeed, "there is little evidence that taxpayers and children are benefiting" from Oklahoma's preschool program, writes Heritage Foundation research fellow Lindsey Burke.   Click to read more on our blog.

In the current issue of Perspective, Ph.D. economists Eric Fruits and Randall Pozdena (formerly the research vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco) do an excellent job of explaining this clash of visions.     In short, the authors make the case that Oklahoma's progressives (have you ever noticed how "progressive" policies have regressive results?) and tax consumers continue to advocate for "a large and growing role for government and the public sector."   Click to read more on our blog.

Fallin fighting 'most important battle against big government in the country today' Forward the cause:        As Oklahoma policymakers work in 2013 to accelerate the state's upward economic trajectory, the state Senate's effort to replace our adversarial workers' compensation system with a more desirable administrative system appropriately takes center stage.   Also on the table are income tax cuts. Gov. Mary Fallin and House Speaker T.W. Shannon are promoting a reduction that would continue Oklahoma's trend of pro-growth tax cuts -- good news for hardworking Oklahomans. But a renewed push to have a tax cut "cost" less may again prevent Oklahoma families from seeing real tax relief. Click to read more on our blog.

Forbes writer lauds OCPA fellow's 'revolutionary' idea Forward the cause:        During Blake Griffin's sophomore (and final) season at Oklahoma, I made an effort to take my sons to Norman as often as possible to watch him play. As I told them at the time: What we're seeing here doesn't come along every day. We need to appreciate it while we can. In like manner, I hope Oklahomans realize what they've got in Sen. Tom Coburn. Encouragingly, I think they do. Prophets have been known to be stoned or sawn in two, yet our own Jeremiah-with-an-accounting-degree somehow manages to be the most popular statesman in Oklahoma. Principled and practical, Dr. Coburn endeavors to vote his conscience (even if it's not always popular), and he manages to be cordial to even his most liberal political opponents. In typical fashion, Dr. Coburn gave a superb speech after the November election entitled "A Valley Forge Moment for Conservatives." The speech is so important we decided to publish it in this month's issue of Perspective. Click to read more on our blog.

As I told them at the time: What we're seeing here doesn't come along every day. We need to appreciate it while we can. In like manner, I hope Oklahomans realize what they've got in Sen. Tom Coburn. Encouragingly, I think they do. Prophets have been known to be stoned or sawn in two, yet our own Jeremiah-with-an-accounting-degree somehow manages to be the most popular statesman in Oklahoma. Principled and practical, Dr. Coburn endeavors to vote his conscience (even if it's not always popular), and he manages to be cordial to even his most liberal political opponents. In typical fashion, Dr. Coburn gave a superb speech after the November election entitled "A Valley Forge Moment for Conservatives." The speech is so important we decided to publish it in this month's issue of Perspective. Click to read more on our blog.

It's before 8:00 a.m. on a Monday morning in January and about 18 people are already assembled outside the unopened door of the office. Even though this winter has been unseasonably warm, it's more than a little chilly. In their black peeptoe heels, my toes are turning purple. "Never mind," I say to myself. "If I want to legally change my name, I have to do this."   For the past few weeks, I've repeated that sentence like a mantra as I've trekked to and fro -- from the Social Security office to the Post Office, from the Post Office to the Department of Public Safety -- to officially become "Tina Korbe Dzurisin."   As a part of my pre-New Year's resolutions (I made them in early December), I've committed myself to finally complete the name-change process. I've intentionally procrastinated this part of wedding-related to-dos (most of which I enjoy) because, to put it mildly, I'm not a fan of inefficiency - and every experience I've ever had waiting in the TSA line at the airport has taught me not to expect particularly streamlined treatment at the offices of government agencies.

Sam Brownback  has rammed through massive income tax cuts, wiped away thousands of public sector jobs, and slashed spending for public broadcasting and social services. He squeezed four state agencies into other departments. He handed the state's Medicaid program to private insurance companies. He's taken thousands off welfare by rewriting the rules that once made them eligible for help.   The man is just getting started. Now, backed with a growing legislative majority of conservative Republicans, Brownback stands ready to amp up his remake of state government in Kansas. His unapologetically bold agenda, backed with mounting political power, makes Kansas a proving ground for a range of conservative theory. "The way you change America is by changing the states," Brownback is quoted as saying. "These are the sort of efforts that will bear fruit in our states and we'll be able to use federally then as models for change."   He's right. Dr. David Brown, OCPA founding chairman, formed our organization because of his long-held belief that the federal government is morally, intellectually and financially bankrupt -- and that solutions will have to come from the states.      Click to read more on our blog.      Forward this email This email was sent to alecia.george@oag.ok.gov by dacia@ocpathink.org   Update Profile/Email Address Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ Privacy Policy.

Dr. David Brown, OCPA founding chairman, formed our organization because of his long-held belief that the federal government is morally, intellectually and financially bankrupt -- and that solutions will have to come from the states.      Click to read more on our blog.      Forward this email This email was sent to diane.clay@oag.ok.gov by dacia@ocpathink.org   Update Profile/Email Address Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ Privacy Policy.

Dave Bond Bond will direct legislative relations for the organization and will also focus on strategic membership growth and grassroots coalition development statewide.   "At OCPA, we are continually putting new pieces together to expand our efforts and increase our outreach across Oklahoma," said Michael Carnuccio, president of OCPA.   "For the concepts of free markets, limited government and individual liberty to be at the forefront of the discussion at our state Capitol, it is critical that OCPA members in all corners of the state be engaged at every level of the policymaking process so they can hold their elected policymakers accountable and impact the process in a substantive way."   Bond comes to OCPA from its 501(c)4 partner organization, Oklahoma Policy Solutions, where he served as director and advocated at the Capitol and to citizen groups on behalf of several policy issues, including broadening school choice for students and parents and reducing the state income tax.   "Oklahoma has a window of opportunity to become a national leader," Bond said. "We're uniquely positioned to become one of the very best states in America in which to do business, raise a family and retire.   "Compared with many states, we have fewer restrictions to take off job creators and families before they're able to realize their full potential and achieve greater personal prosperity without depending on government. And we have a majority of state lawmakers in office who understand this and have the ability to act on it."   Along with tax relief and educational choice, Bond said reforming the state workers' compensation system and identifying state-based solutions to Medicaid, public-employee pensions and other unsustainable fiscal burdens are among the key issues facing Oklahoma.   Bond will continue to be active with Oklahoma Policy Solutions as a member of its board. Feb-17-2017 000917   Prior to his time at Oklahoma Policy Solutions, Bond worked in Oklahoma campaigns for five consecutive election cycles, focusing primarily on state legislative races. In the 2008 elections, he served as director of the Republican State House Committee, the chief political arm of the Republican caucus of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. He also previously worked at the state House of Representatives in media and communications.   Bond is a graduate of Oklahoma State University. He lives in Yukon with his wife Marsha and their two young sons, Owen and Mason. ### The mission of OCPA is to accumulate, evaluate and disseminate public policy ideas and information for Oklahoma, consistent with the principles of free enterprise, limited government and individual initiative.     Forward this email This email was sent to alecia.george@oag.ok.gov by dacia@ocpathink.org   Update Profile/Email Address Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ Privacy Policy.

Forward the cause:        National School Choice Week is in full swing across the country and also in Oklahoma (kudos to Gov. Mary Fallin for proclaiming it so).   As I told OETA's Dick Pryor, this is a week designed to highlight the many educational options available to parents, and to make the case that parents should be able to choose the safest and best options for their childrenwhether that's a traditional public school, a charter school, a private school, online learning, private tutoring, homeschooling or some customized menu of options.    As I never tire of repeating, in the 21st century "public education" shouldn't mean your children have to go to the school bureaucratically assigned to them based on geography. Rather, we should remind ourselves that the goal of "public education" is to produce an "educated public"-- regardless of where that education takes place.    Click to read more and to watch video of Dutcher's interview with Dick Pryor on our blog.      Forward this email This email was sent to diane.clay@oag.ok.gov by dacia@ocpathink.org   Update Profile/Email Address Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ Privacy Policy.

With proposed tax cuts or exemptions, for example, the discussion focuses on the Oklahoma Tax Commission's estimate of how many dollars the proposal will (depending on your perspective) cost the state or benefit the taxpayers. Perhaps it would be better if, instead, we judged the proposal based on its economic impact. For example, we should ask how much economic growth will occur or how many jobs will be created if we enact this proposal. But too often, it's just easier to go with what we know.

It's a budget that respects your family budget by focusing spending on core services and allowing for a modest tax cut that does not increase the tax burden for any Oklahoman. A real tax cut for Oklahomans is deserved and necessary, especially since the federal government increased taxes for most Oklahomans this year -- while total state tax collections, sales taxes, and state government spending are at all-time highs. Given that Oklahomans are foregoing at least two percent of their paychecks due to the payroll tax hike, we think it is completely reasonable for Oklahoma to focus on core services, eliminate unjustifiable expenditures, and cut appropriations by a little less than two percent, so citizens can keep more of the fruits of their own labor.

Click here For Immediate Release February 4, 2013 Contact: Dacia Harris (405) 602-1667 or dacia@ocpathink.org Media     Perspective     Blog   Feb-17-2017 001078 OCPA Reacts to the Governor's State of the State Address   OKLAHOMA CITY (Feb. 4, 2013) -- As the OCPA team watched Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin's third State of the State address today, we were encouraged by the policy solutions she outlined. Gov. Fallin recognizes that Oklahoma's costly workers' compensation system dampens our state's business climate and constricts our job market. The cost savings from reform will allow Oklahoma's private-sector employers to expand capacity and create additional job opportunities for their friends and neighbors. OCPA President Michael Carnuccio said, "We applaud the Governor for pointing out the positive impact tax cuts have already had on Oklahoma's economy and the opportunities they have made possible for Oklahoma families. She instinctively understands our income tax rate is still too high and puts us at a competitive disadvantage against more than one of our neighboring states." Fiscally, Gov. Fallin challenged lawmakers to break away from the less-thantransparent state budgeting practices of decades past. In addition, she realizes changes must be made to preserve the state's employee retirement program to ensure it delivers on its promises and does not become an unnecessary burden on taxpayers. OCPA Executive Vice President Brian Bush said Gov. Fallin's comments on President Obama's health care act were heartening. "We are proud of Gov. Fallin for standing firm in her position that the federal health care law is unaffordable and ineffective for our state, and that policymakers should continue to opt out of the law's expansion of Medicaid," Bush said. Knowing that the Governor is entering the legislative session with this mindset, and knowing the priorities of leaders like President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman and Speaker T.W. Shannon, OCPA is optimistic that Oklahoma's second century will continue to be better than its first.

Mary Fallin's third State of the State address today, we were encouraged by the policy solutions she outlined. Gov. Fallin recognizes that Oklahoma's costly workers' compensation system dampens our state's business climate and constricts our job market. The cost savings from reform will allow Oklahoma's private-sector employers to expand capacity and create additional job opportunities for their friends and neighbors. OCPA President Michael Carnuccio said, "We applaud the Governor for pointing out the positive impact tax cuts have already had on Oklahoma's economy and the opportunities they have made possible for Oklahoma families. She instinctively understands our income tax rate is still too high and puts us at a competitive disadvantage against more than one of our neighboring states." Fiscally, Gov. Fallin challenged lawmakers to break away from the less-thantransparent state budgeting practices of decades past. In addition, she realizes changes must be made to preserve the state's employee retirement program to ensure it delivers on its promises and does not become an unnecessary burden on taxpayers.

Click here You are invited to a special briefing at OCPA that should be of interest to anyone who desires smaller government at the state and federal level. On Thursday, Jan. 31, OCPA will be proud to host Robert G. Natelson, senior fellow in constitutional jurisprudence at the Independence Institute, Colorado's premier free-market think tank. Feb-17-2017 001125 Professor Natelson is one of America's best-known constitutional scholars and a leading expert on the American founding. You can learn more about him here. At OCPA, Professor Natelson's presentation will be two-fold: 1) How Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes states to propose constitutional amendments, and what the historical and legal record says about how this process operates. Many see this as a potential avenue for a federal balanced-budget amendment. 2) The implications of a federal lawsuit filed in Colorado that, if successful, would potentially restrict state taxpayers from approving constitutional limits on legislative powers (such as, limiting the ability of Oklahoma lawmakers to increase state taxes). Professor Natelson's briefing will take place on Thursday, Jan. 31, at 5:30 pm. Refreshments and hors d'oeuvre will be provided. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Jennie Kleese at 405-602-1667 or jennie@ocpathink.org. I hope to see you on the 31st. The effort to preserve liberty in America continues. It requires vigilance and perseverance, and we at OCPA appreciate you standing on the front lines with us.

Meanwhile, Gov. Mary Fallin, Oklahoma's elected leaders and policymakers in the position to make the decision, continue to strongly oppose the burdensome proposition. Such opposition is reasoned and indeed wise.   Cost estimates to the state for expanding this government program are staggering.

Expansion problems abound, as Oklahoma's secretary of health and human services noted, "If we just expand our current system, it doesn't solve the problem."   Given overwhelming public opposition to the expansion and the governor's decision, the recent actions of Oklahoma Health Care Authority CEO Mike Fogarty are nothing short of insubordination.   Click to read more.  Published each week, Free Market Friday is a syndicated column in The Journal Record written by OCPA president Michael Carnuccio.    Forward this email This email was sent to alecia.george@oag.ok.gov by dacia@ocpathink.org   Update Profile/Email Address Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ Privacy Policy.

On Thursday, Jan. 31, OCPA will be proud to host Robert G. Natelson, senior fellow in constitutional jurisprudence at the Independence Institute, Colorado's premier free-market think tank. Professor Natelson is one of America's best-known constitutional scholars and a Feb-17-2017 001238 leading expert on the American founding. You can learn more about him here. At OCPA, Professor Natelson's presentation will focus on how Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes states to propose constitutional amendments, and what the historical and legal record says about how this process operates. Many see this as a potential avenue for a federal balanced-budget amendment. Professor Natelson's briefing will take place at 5:30 pm on Thursday, Jan. 31, at OCPA, 1401 N. Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City. Refreshments and hors d'oeuvre will be provided. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Jennie Kleese at 405-602-1667 or jennie@ocpathink.org.

Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City. Refreshments and hors d'oeuvre will be provided. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Jennie Kleese at 405-602-1667 or jennie@ocpathink.org. I hope to see you on the 31st. The effort to preserve liberty in America continues. It requires vigilance and perseverance, and we at OCPA appreciate you standing on the front lines with us.

Could you please get back to me by Tuesday, April 9 if you want to sign on. I hope to get the letter to the Hill on April 10. Your name will be listed with your state and years in office so please send the years! Thanks Feb-17-2017 001355 I have been working with Grant, Terry and Mark for the past several years in encouraging Congress to act. Those in the know believe that the law enforcement perspective provided both through a former AG letter, as well as the one circulating through NAAG/CWAG will make a difference. Please feel free to call one of us if you want to talk further about this. I also attach below former AG Bob Stephan's comments this week at a Kansas City roundtable coordinated by the National Immigration Forum. There are likely to be lots of grass roots opportunities to speak on this topic in the next few months so please let me know if you would like to become more involved.

Could you please get back to me by Tuesday, April 9 if you want to sign on. I hope to get the letter to the Hill on April 10. Your name will be listed with your state and years in office so please send the years! Thanks Feb-17-2017 001361 I have been working with Grant, Terry and Mark for the past several years in encouraging Congress to act. Those in the know believe that the law enforcement perspective provided both through a former AG letter, as well as the one circulating through NAAG/CWAG will make a difference. Please feel free to call one of us if you want to talk further about this. I also attach below former AG Bob Stephan's comments this week at a Kansas City roundtable coordinated by the National Immigration Forum. There are likely to be lots of grass roots opportunities to speak on this topic in the next few months so please let me know if you would like to become more involved. By the way, Mark Shurtleff is on the Forum Board of Directors. Grant and Terry have also been very active in speaking out on immigration issues.

Could you please get back to me by Tuesday, April 9 if you want to sign on. I hope to get the letter to the Hill on April 10. Your name will be listed with your state and years in office so please send the years! Thanks I have been working with Grant, Terry and Mark for the past several years in encouraging Congress to act. Those in the know believe that the law enforcement perspective provided both through a former AG letter, as well as the one circulating through NAAG/CWAG will make a difference. Please feel free to call one of us if you want to talk further about this. I also attach below former AG Bob Stephan's comments this week at a Kansas City roundtable coordinated by the National Immigration Forum. There are likely to be lots of grass roots opportunities to speak on this topic in the next few months so please let me know if you would like to become more involved. By the way, Mark Shurtleff is on the Forum Board of Directors. Grant and Terry have also been very active in speaking out on immigration issues.

I hope to get the letter to the Hill on April 10. Your name will be listed with your state and years in office so please send the years!  Thanks I have been working with Grant, Terry and Mark for the past several years in encouraging Congress to act. Those in the know believe that the law enforcement perspective provided both through a former AG letter, as well as the  one circulating through NAAG/CWAG will make a difference.  Please feel free to call one of us if you want to talk further about this. I also attach  below former AG Bob Stephan's comments this week at a Kansas City roundtable coordinated by the National Immigration Forum. There are likely to be lots of grass roots opportunities to speak on this topic in the next few months so please let me know if you would like to become more involved.  By the way, Mark Shurtleff is on the Forum Board of Directors.
