ONR Extra Coburn (5:39)
Featured in ONR Extras
Oklahoma U.S. Senator Tom Coburn made national news recently with a couple of comments at town hall meeting. Responding to a man in Langley who asked if President Obama "wants to destroy America," Coburn said the president's "intent is not to destroy, his intent is to create dependency because it worked so well for him." "As an african-american male," Coburn said, Obama received "tremendous advantage from a lot of these programs." Coburn has offered to apologize to any congressional colleagues offended by his remark that "it was a good thing he couldn't pack a gun on the senate floor." Coburn called the comment about shooting fellow lawmakers out of frustration a joke. Senator Coburn met with constituents at several town hall meetings this week. In this ONR Extra, here is an excerpt from the town hall in Claremore.

The last three years have been hard on state government with ongoing budget cuts as tax revenues dwindled to levels not seen in almost a decade. But when you add up all the numbers, the budget for state government is much larger than you would expect. Half of it comes from the federal government and then there's that little-discussed matter of the increasing state debt. To get an economists view of the state budget process and the amount of debt state government has, Dick Pryor talked with Professor Joe Johnson, from the University of Central Oklahoma's College of Business Administration.

Tax Credits (11:40)

Over the past five years legislators have trimmed more than one and a half billion dollars from the budget of state government, a third of that in just this year. As a result funding for public education, roads and bridges and state agencies have all been slashed. During that time however, lawmakers have left billions in tax credits on the books. Lis Exon takes a look at some of these tax credits and their effect on the state budget. Dick Pryor then sits down with Warren Vieth from Oklahoma Watch. Mr. Vieth has been following the progress of a task force created to assess the effectiveness of tax credits.
