President David Boren Calls Oklahoma Budget Irresponsible

This is a great website and article about the out of control budget in Oklahoma.

The Oklahoman recently informed us that University of Oklahoma president David Boren says a tuition increase is forthcoming. President Boren places the blame on what he calls an “irresponsible” state income-tax cut. “It is time people take a stand and make a decision,” he is quoted as saying. “Do you want some services from your government that improve your quality of life, or do you want tax cuts?
