Look ahead for November 7, 2016

Notes from Mr. Ross:

"Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote." - William E. Simon

***Please get out and vote on Tuesday.  Regardless of your political affiliation voting a privilege unmatched anywhere else in the world.

In addition to the presidential election, one day we will all tell our grandchildren we lived through this load of toro fecal matter, we have state and local decisions that impact us in the short and long run.

These are a few of the items to be decided on this coming Tuesday:
- State Question 776 was designed to assert that all methods of execution would be constitutionally allowed unless prohibited by the United States Constitution and designated statutorily by the legislature.

- State Question 777 was designed to establish a constitutional right for farmers and ranchers to engage in farming and ranching practices.

- State Question 779 was designed to increase the state sales tax by 1 percent to generate revenue for education funding.

- State Question 780 was designed to reclassify certain property offenses and simple drug possession as misdemeanor crimes.

- State Question 781 was designed to use money saved by reclassifying certain property and drug crimes as misdemeanors, as outlined in State Question 780, to fund rehabilitative programs.

- State Question 790 was designed to repeal Section 5 of Article 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution, which prohibits public money from being spent for religious purposes.

- State Question 792 was designed to allow grocery stores and convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and wine.

***Keep Ms. Wolfe and her family in your thoughts.  She is going through a tough time at the moment.  We will keep you posted as we find out information.
