Racism Inside and Outside the State Capitol
Episode 156
Published 4 years, 9 months ago
Description
It's been a hell of a week in Oklahoma politics. Andy, Scott, & Bailey discuss two very public reminders that racism still runs rampant in our state. Also, another legislative deadline has passed, and with it so did a surprising number of downright terrible bills, which now move to the opposite chamber for consideration. Vaccines are up, Covid cases are down, so Governor Stitt thinks it's a good time to go ahead and lift the few meager restrictions he put in place.
