KOSU Radio to host Policy and a Pint discussion about SQ 744

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

A heated battle is setting up for the fall election with Oklahoma education on one side and a group of state agencies and other interest groups on the other.  State question 744 proposes raising the amount of money spent per pupil in Oklahoma to the regional average.  What does that mean for Oklahomans? 

Many wonder whether an $850,000,000 increase in education funding will mean better education for Oklahoma children or a tax increase and cutback in other state services.

KOSU Radio will host a new event August 30, 2010, at 6 p.m. to help voters answer the question.  Policy and a Pint is an opportunity for voters to join in a discussion about what’s best for Oklahoma.  The discussion will include representatives from the Yes on 744 campaign and the One Oklahoma Coalition.  KOSU capitol bureau chief Michael Cross will moderate the event.

Picasso Café in Oklahoma City’s Paseo Arts District will host the event with KOSU and will provide hors dourves.
