Previewing the Legislative Sessions in OK and Washington
& Mick Cornett's 2007 State of the City (Jan 26, 2007)
Just one week from today, the 2007 Oklahoma Legislative Session will officially convene. With a Democrat as Lt. Governor, a tie in the State Senate and a Republican House leader actively soliciting ideas from constituents, it promises to be an interesting few months. On the national level, Oklahoma�s mostly Republican Congressional delegation is in the minority, with Democrats now in control of both Houses of Congress. The Fifth District has a new US Representative, and several Oklahoma lawmakers now have new committee assignments. OU Political Science Professor Keith Gaddie and our DC reporter Todd Zwillich join us for a half hour to discuss these and other legislative matters. We also listen back to OKC Mayor Mick Cornett�s recent State of the City address.
