Kids, youth, camps, and life change

As a pastor, I deal with all kinds of different situations. Some things I encounter are very difficult, but some things are incredibly rewarding. The summer is often a season where I get to see some of those rewarding things. 06/22/2023 05:00 AM

A free-speech victory for all Oklahomans

A free-speech victory for all Oklahomans

Free speech and public debate are necessary ingredients of a democratic government, which is why the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution enshrines free speech as a basic right. But that hasn’t stopped some entities from trying to do an end run on that fundamental right, including here in Oklahoma. 06/22/2023 05:00 AM

The largest deficit reduction in history

The largest deficit reduction in history

Americans want Washington to spend less. Yet for the past two years, hard-working Oklahomans have been crippled with the consequences of Joe Biden’s reckless government spending, skyrocketing inflation, and high interest rates. In Biden’s economy, families and businesses have been forced to make near impossible choices to keep themselves afloat. 06/22/2023 05:00 AM

Eliminating the waiting list

Eliminating the waiting list

s someone who has dedicated her career to improving healthcare, I was pleased with the tremendous investments we made this session. We worked extremely hard in our Appropriations Subcommittee for Health and Human Services to secure this vital funding. Overall, health and human services received 24% of the nearly $11 billion appropriated to state agencies. 06/22/2023 05:00 AM

Owen. The immediate concern was to provide additional parking to get vehicles off of State Highway 130.” 06/15/2023 05:00 AM

Keeping the commitment to fiscal resonsibility

Keeping the commitment to fiscal resonsibility

The Fiscal Responsibility Act, which was just signed into law, will do just what it is named to do — restore fiscal sanity in Washington. With Democrats in control of the presidency and the Senate, this bill is not only a good compromise, but also a great first step to get the government back on track and away from the out-of-control and inflationary spending Democrats and President Joe Biden have steamrolled through the past two and a half years. 06/15/2023 05:00 AM

Savings, 1X funds make session historic

Savings, 1X funds make session historic

The 2023 legislative session is complete, and we accomplished so much thanks to historic revenues and fiscal prudence in recent years that have left the state with record savings and one-time funds. 06/15/2023 05:00 AM

In the Memorial Day event notice on page 1 of the May 25 issue of the Newcastle Pacer, we said the event was led by the Tony K. Burris VFW Post 368. We should have said the Post 3608. We regret this error and any inconvenience it may have caused. 06/08/2023 05:00 AM
