Syrian Refugees, Right to Farm and Penny Education Tax

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel and Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill about the attacks in Paris and calls by leaders, mostly Republicans who called on the President to stop allowing Syrian refugees into the country as well as opposition from a group including former Attorney General Drew Edmondson on the Right to Farm state question going before voters next November.

The trio also discuss opposition from the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs to the proposed state question by OU President David Boren to create a penny sales tax dedicated to education and while other state agencies are shrinking amidst budget cuts, Attorney General Scott Pruitt's office is growing.
