Oklahoma Voices: State Question 744 (Feb 15, 2010) There are several state questions voters will decide in November, but one has drawn the opposition of state legislative leaders and candidates for governor. That is State Question 744, also called the HOPE Initiative Petition. The HOPE stands for Helping Oklahoma Public Education. The ballot proposal is supported by the Oklahoma Education Association.
