OKLAHOMA CITY -
“Getting up every morning with a purpose is what everyone wants, said Greg Lockhart of the OMES State Use Program.
For the past five months, Greg s mission has been trying to provide that purpose for a group of people that are often overlooked.
He works for the State Use Program operated by the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
The program provides meaningful and long-term employment for people with disabilities.
“Every dollar that is made by one of our employees saves the taxpayer on the other side, said Greg.
That’s because as more people are employed, the burden on state-assistance programs is reduced.
