Democrats & Other Imposters Vote To Give Millions To Wind Corporations

 Democrats Working to Justify Keeping Wind Tax Credits

We get it, the Democrats are way out of power and desperate to get some campaign donations to run for office but their support for corporate welfare wind tax credits last week made them look hypocritical. David Van of Sooner Politics wrote an excellent story that laid out the hypocrisy.

Getting away from the part of the working man they tried to help carve out $74,000,000 for the wind energy lobby, an anomaly as nearly all of the Democrats hail from urban areas or from the Southeast part of the state where there are no wind turbines.

The attempt failed and the bill that made the wind credits non refundable passed by 51 to 46. No longer can the wind turbine companies come to the state with a warrant for $50 million dollars when they are paying zero taxes. Now they can use the credits to offset their taxes. Perhaps the credits can be sold on the thriving state tax credit market for fifty cents on the dollar. But at least someone will be offsetting some tax instead of the state having to write a fifty million dollar check with no warning.

Matt 'Made in China' Pinnell

 

'Made in China' Matt Pinnell

  Last Tuesday night I attended the Konawa Tea Party to hear Gubernatorial candidate Gary Richardson speak and had to suffer through a speech by former GOP chairman Matt Pinnell. Pinnell is a RINO and hated by most of the Tea Party, 912 community, and the Ron Paul activists. So Matt is bragging on his accomplishments, his wife's accomplishments as an inventor, and his plans for bringing jobs to Oklahoma. As part of this, while bragging about his wife inventing a shopping cart hammock for babies, he mentioned his big warehouse in Bixby.

  My ears perk up, warehouse, not factory.... and his wife is the inventor of the product so it would be obvious that she would also be making the product, right? Or importing it from China more likely. I had to force myself to behave and not ask where the product was manufactured but once I got home I did a quick Google search and found out that Lt. Governor candidate Matt Pinnell is indeed shipping jobs to China, Jiagang China specifically.

The Missing $230 Million In County Road Money

Holy Cow, Almost a Quarter Billion Dollars Missing or Unaccounted for in ODOT Alone

David Van over at Sooner Politics picked up a story from Ada where some local prosecutors are investigating nearly a quarter billion dollars from ODOT accounts.    Read the story and start contacting your local media and the officials in the story about why this isn't front page news.  

This brings home the need to audit every single agency using an outside auditor with the findings being posted online immediately after the audit is finished.  This is money that was being held in trust for counties and towns, and now it is missing.

Has this happened before?  Yes, Preston Doerflinger raided the Rainy Day Fund with impunity and now some are asking if he or Mary Fallin have raided these road funds as well.

John Bennett: Kick'n 'McDugle' & Taking Names

Rep. John Bennett Kicking...McDugle.. and Taking Names

Rep John Bennett weighed in in the wind tax credit fight last week with a gleam in his eye. John didn't file for office this year so he is free to poke the sacred cows at the Capitol. He was in fine form and as outspoken as ever.

Soft-On-Crime Sob Story of the Week

Coddled Criminal Soft on Crime Sob Story of the Week

Meet Mario D. Cherry, AKA Mario D. Bump, Bump Cherry, Cherry Milton, Mario Cherry, Bunk Cherry, and Bumploc, a career criminal who loves soft on crime legislators and liberal voters that think being soft on criminals does anything other than dumping the criminals back out on the street faster so they can break into your home again.

Cherry shows up on the record when he was nineteen years old in 1991 , on charges of keeping a place to sell drugs, earning a one year sentence, then again in 1993 on multiple charges of using a firearm in a crime, drug possession, possession with intent to distribute. He earned around 27 years of sentencing, various four year terms, a six year term, and a seven year term. He was in and out quickly but went right back into prison probably for parole violations, coming out in 1997, out again in 2000, back in in 2003, hop scotching around between the street and prison.

A Tale of Tattered Textbooks

A Tale of Tattered Text Books

Oh the propaganda that Oklahoma was subjected to the last few weeks including the much used pictures of tattered textbooks used as proof that Oklahoma education funding had been slashed. Of course it was manufactured propaganda as school bond money is used for textbooks and local school districts pass bond issues all the time for such needs.

One district in particular that was using this manufactured propaganda was Tulsa district. Tulsa had passed $970,000,000 in bonds since 2010. $354,000,000 in 2010, $38,000,000 in 2013, and $415,000,000 in 2015 which had $138,435,000 earmarked for textbooks and classroom materials.

In all $23,480.38 per student was raised in school bonds alone, all earmarked for textbooks, building repair, and transportation infrastructure. So if there were videos and pictures of moldy schools and tattered books it was mismanagement of tax dollars and bond dollars, not a lack of citizens paying taxes to support education.

Sallisaw Is Just One Example of Bloated School Administration

It's Ten O'clock, Do You Know What Your School District Administration is Paid?

Anyone remember that phrase? Some news casts would ask that, "It's Ten O'clock, do you know where your children are?" But in the wake of the disgusting and disturbing gathering of union thugs striking at the Capitol we need to educate readers and legislators alike on the kind of pay scales being paid in even the smallest of school districts. Usually the highest paid employees in a county will be public school teachers or administrators.

This post by the Tulsa World allows you to select any school district in the state and see their highest paid employees and see each and every salary paid listed with benefits and without along with the job description.

We choose Sallisaw as an example in the picture above, a small town on the far East side of the state, split by I-40, the House District of Rep. John Bennett. Sallisaw struck for higher pay and increased funding and sent plenty of union thugs to the Capitol and they stayed here till the strike fizzled out last week.
