New budget numbers, student-led protest punishment, state worker pay and more

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Civic Leader Andy Moore and Legislative Advisor Jennifer Monies about new budget numbers for state lawmakers for the 2027 fiscal year starting in July, a fiscal impact for the House Speakers literacy legislation coming in at about $75M and Mustang Public Schools suspending 122 students for participating in I.C.E. protests.

The trio also discusses the Trump Administration's Department of Justice asking Oklahoma election officials for confidential voter information and a new study showing state workers make 50% less in pay than their private sector counterparts.
