Education Political Challengers, Fallin's Budget 2.0 & Anti-Panhandling Lawsuit

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about the first day of filing for political office which saw at least 30 people involved with education sign up to take on challengers and, shortly before that, Governor Fallin held a press conference to unveil her new plan to fix the $1.3 billion shortfall in the upcoming budget.

The trio also discusses a lawsuit against Oklahoma City  over its new panhandling ordinance and a push by former State Representative and Democratic Candidate for Governor Joe Dorman to add medical marijuana to the ballot in November.
