Suits against and that happened time and time again. I asked the office how much has been spent and they wouldnt give me the figure. Anytime the any time the legislator asks for the figures on the Appropriations Committee thats wrong. We should receive those numbers so we can do a better job. But the point of the budget this year. We were given a 7. 2 billion budget bill at 10 a. M. In the morning on the last friday of the session and the first vote was that 12 32 and a half years later when the legislators dont have the proper time to review the budget we certainly cannot see the best type of budget for oklahoma. We must be responsible with those taxpayers dollar and make sure that the legislation that passes is constitutional and it goes back to the thorough review from one year and thats why we will see better legislation and opportunities. The money that is currently being wasted should quebec into the classrooms to teachers for a pay raise, to protect benefits and certainly to help students receive resources to achieve their highest potential. Moderator governor you have 90 seconds. Fallin every time that we review a law passed by the legislature we get the review with the Legal Counsel as well as the legislative staff and their team so i dont think theres anyone in the legislature that passes the bill that would be the visit unconstitutional but there are challenges that are passed and signed by the legislature and by the governor. We certainly dont want to waste money on the challenges to lawsuits and constitutionality of the law. There are some that people challenge that are constitutional and that reflect the law and some are ruled the other way but we dont want to waste taxpayer money and we want to make sure the walls we pass our constitutional and i agree with the representative we do want to put money towards education and towards moving the taxes which he opposes but im for lowering taxes and the state of oklahoma if had wanted more towards the state services that make a difference Like Mental Health and Substance Abuse and focusing on Prison Reform and the patrolmen we were able to give them a raise and corrections more money this year. Those are important topic for the state putting money into roads and bridges. We need to focus on the resources of the state. Moderator the next question will be asked by mr. Pryor and it will be directed to governor fallin. Moderator following the 20 those of 2013 including the two that killed seven Elementary School students each of you pushed plans to the building of storm shelters and safe rooms in schools. Neither of the proposals passed. If you are elected what will you propose in the next session to address the issue of School Safety and security and why do you think that your plan is the best idea . Fallin let me say that all the time and as we had in the community and in fact all the different devastating things in the last four years has been very disheartening for the state of oklahoma. I was there on the ground during the 20 those within a couple hours after it hit to walk through the devastation to walk through the school and to know we had a loss of life and work with First Responders and i just want to shout out to the First Responders and the charities that worked to help people suffering during a great loss at that time but we want to make sure that children are safe in their schools and i do propose that we would allow schools and local control of locals districts into systems to have the opportunity to vote for the bond if they wanted to put an safe in safe rooms or some other safety precautions. Actually the representative did propose that a couple of years ago the same position when he talked about increasing property taxes. The voters would be voting on it and that is local cultural. This year he proposed the spend 500 million on a bond issue that would have to come from somewhere out of the state budget. Both of us care deeply about children and safety and storm shelters but to answer the question i will continue to push that we have that local control so that communities can decide what they need in their individual communities. Moderator thank you. Representative to have 90 seconds. Dorman thank you. This is good but made the decision more than anything else. Working with family members and other parents trying to get an initiative passed to improve School Security we must look at the different options. We found a better solution than raising taxes and found we could use the Franchise Tax to back up the bombs and match the dollars that would provide the 2 billion necessary to build storm shelters in the schools and improve School Securities against the terrorist activity but that meant opposition when the governor and others in her party because they did not want to see the bond issue go through that we did pass the issue to repair the Capitol Building. So, i do see a flipflop there and a flaw in the decisionmaking policy and the rationale when we chose that the Capitol Building was more important than the Public Schools for the kids and grandkids. We must do what we can to ensure that the schools are adequate and provide security. The governor championed the property tax you cannot slice it any other direction she was pushing a bill that would increase property taxes locally. We have provisions of the constitution to protect against tax increases. We will not see legislation go through that the legislatures holy will legislatures holy will push the tax increase. So her saying that ive been for tax increases is a flawed logic. Moderator the next question is by rick green and it will be directed to representative dorman. Moderator but is oklahomas biggest environmental problem and what is your approach to solving it . Dorman we must work to provide the necessary resources. We had the districts in high school they gave me an opportunity to learn about the problems we face. The dams were built for 50 year life but its been over 70 years since theyve been fixed. We must provide the proper infrastructure and make sure those federal dollars oklahoma pays for their taxes come back so we do not have to raise taxes and we shouldnt ask our citizens to put more. Weve seen the tax credits issued and the numbers and the estimates say that we almost 7 billion of tax credits for businesses with corporate welfare. We must reassess those and use the money to be put back into make sure we have proper conservation programs and work with our farmers. We see program after program that helps other sectors of business but weve been leaving farmers behind. We must work on developing better water policies for the state. We need a leadership that is in touch with the citizens. All four corners we need leadership that was down with those folks at the coffeeshop, hear their ideas and bring them back and have the vision to pass policies that will work for oklahoma and we must do this in a bipartisan manner working with republicans and democrats alike. Moderator you have 90 seconds. Fallin i want to comment on the previous question that representative answered. He wanted to use the Franchise Tax for storm shelters but also wanted to take the Franchise Tax towards Education Funding which is 35 million which is half of what ive already put into the Education Funding for the state and by the way they did have a valid issue to be able to raise the local bond issues and the communities to put in storm shelters. I appreciate the community putting that on the ballot itself. My point is that they had to get a 50 margin but at least we have schools that are already doing that in the state. Back to the environment issue i think one of the biggest issues facing oklahoma has been the drought and potter is impotent to so many sectors of the economy whether its agriculture, the Energy Sector, whether it is tourism and recreation or residential Drinking Water we have initiated a statewide water Implementation Plan for the state and water conservation. We all want to be good stewards of the land and water and air. We implemented a piece of legislation that says we wont use any more water in 2060 and and and wouldve utilized today so we can conserve our water and just last week and a half ago i hosted a draft for an bit focus on ways to reuse the water into and the industry to do that. Moderator its time to hear from Oklahoma State university students. The Panel Members will each read a question submitted by students in the audience and the first question will be read by Rachel Hubbard and directed to the governor. This is from catherine. She asks do you agree or disagree there is a connection between the increase in earthquakes . If you do what do you intend to do about it . Fallin first of all i think that they have been concerned about earthquakes. Weve had a long history of earthquakes, a lot of scientists, the u. S. Geological survey, other Experts Committee university of oklahoma, industry sector people looking at what is the cause are or a manmade or a course of nature itself but one thing we do know is we have to get the information correct the facts and research and thats why i started a governor is coordinating council that takes the u. S. Geological survey and the sciences and the major universities and even the private sector to join together to gather the data, gathered information and to make them make sure that we understand whether it is manmade or whether it is caused by something else. Also, the corporation has been working with us and in fact they have a system that deals with the Energy Sector that gives them a red light if they think it may be on a fault line were certainly red light if it could cause an earthquake so weve been having with agencies to make sure that we are addressing this issue. That is on the minds of many. There was one that happened about on the go to discuss the topic because oklahoma is frustrated as we have seen an increase in earthquakes in the state with no reason. The science has been done we just need action taken. Make sure that the industry is a privacy practices and we need leadership thats in touch that will deal with these issues. The damage that has occurred to the individuals with what we saw in one of the early earthquakes this is unacceptable we need action and leadership that will address this problem. We must Work Together as a Bipartisan Legislation to come up with the Solutions Working with the Corporation Commission also withholding the industry accountable making sure the practices are safe. We need to see the results and do something about that. We must act responsibly and made sure the citizens and their property and their safety is of the utmost and the highest consideration. The next question will be directed to representative dorman. Moderator this question is from a senior at Oklahoma State university. If elected or reelected, what would you do to ensure that College Students are wasting in oklahoma after graduating but also to create jobs for the College Graduates . Dorman thank you for that question and that is a growing concern. As weve seen in the education field, too many of the program are leaving the state to go to the Green Pastures along the lines where they pay 15,000 more dollars starting off. We must work to improve the situation we face in the schools and provide and protect the benefits. Those teachers have worked hard that work hard for their entire life to serve the benefit and we must have responsible leadership to the costofliving increase to provide for those retired teachers too many are struggling and they have to find a second job. Thats not right we must work to provide those opportunities for all businesses. About 80 of the businesses in oklahoma are Small Businesses but often they are overlooked and soap chasing the brass ring to bring in a Big Corporation we should work with those Small Businesses. My department will work with the different regions and the career tech to provide job training debate for training. We have one of the destination infecting the agency ordered outside of Oklahoma City right here in stillwater. We must work to make sure the job training is top notch and that will help us improve the Small Businesses and eventually build them into larger businesses. We must provide those opportunities and i think that includes paying a living wage to oklahoma. Fallin we are looking forward to you staying in the state of oklahoma and that has been one of my top schools is to create the right type of economy, create the right kind of job that will help you achieve the american dream. The mother of six we want to make sure all of our children can stay in the state of oklahoma and find a highpaying good job so we can do better than we have as adults. So we have been able to create over 102,000 jobs in the state of oklahoma. The per capita income in the state of oklahoma is one of the top rising income levels levels that doubled the National Average and increased the income so you will be able to find a good paying job. We also have the fastest gdp growth in the nation making it one of the hottest markets to locate and just this week i saw an article that said we are ranked seventh in the nation for Young Professionals between the age of 20 to 24 to locate obama and then dont forget that the low cost of living in the state. We are one of the top states in the nation for having a low cost of living. Thats what we have been working towards is to make sure that you will be doubled to graduate and have the kind of good paying job and be able to stay here and be a good contributor to oklahoma and then another thing i just want to close with just been working on College Completion and im very proud of the America WorksCollege Completion program that increases the number of College Graduates. The final question will be read by mr. Green and it will be directed to governor fallin. Moderator osu freshmen. In light of the recent natural disasters in the School Shootings, how do you plan on updating emergency plan for oklahomas Public School system lacks fallin that is a great question. We certainly want to make sure all facilities in oklahoma especially the buildings and schools are safe. I recently received the endorsement that i am very proud of and im a big supporter of the Second Amendment of the state of oklahoma and i want to make sure that we do everything we can to create safe facilities at the school and thats why i propose allowing local School Districts to look at the need to decide if they need to in hands their School Safety facility and at the school to be able to make those decisions themselves how much they can afford to, what they need to do. And that is very important. I certainly work with Highway Patrol or Homeland Security to make sure that we keep the public aware of any potential threats. We certainly had a very tragic episode that happens in the state of oklahoma that shook us down to the very foundation and we want to do everything we can to make sure that oklahoma is aware that whenever there is a threat that we address them very quickly and that we keep the public informed. But i guess it goes back to say that we are doing everything we can to make sure that we have an emergency plan in place and we certainly have initiated that. I was the Lieutenant Governor when we had our Federal Building that was bombed back many years ago. I was there during a difficult time and we are going to do everything we can to make sure that we are are safe as citizens and protect the Second Amendment rights. You have 90 seconds. Sometimes talk is cheap and we need real leadership and action that will respond to this. Four years ago when janet took over in the state department of education, one of the programs that she dominated off the bat was the emergency hotline to call for issues that might be facing your school. We saw when the council met just a few years ago there was one of that was one of the first suggestions to reinstitute. The board that my opponent has appointed has backed up all of these policies on the goal that have hurt our schools. We must see real action and leadership that will sit down. I championed that after the School Shooting a year ago. We had a meeting and i invited School Superintendents and professionals and teachers and parents from all over the state to discuss what we could do better. We almost saw a tragedy similar to what we saw in sandy hook. They reported the situation. We must encourage them to look for these situations into work for the school administrators. I want t
