Tad Jones Criticizes OEA Plan

The Oklahoma Education Association’s latest initiative would likely devastate vital government services and rural schools while draining the pocketbooks of hard-working Oklahomans during troubled economic times, a top budget leader warned today.

“The OEA’s proposed constitutional amendment would result in at least one of the following outcomes – a massive tax increase at a time when gas prices are skyrocketing, consolidation of schools, or devastating cuts to vital government services such as roads and law enforcement,” said Rep. Tad Jones, Claremore Republican who chairs the House Education Committee and is vice-chair of the House Appropriations and Budget Committee.
