Opioid Settlement, Cost of Living Adjustments & Teacher Pay Raise Anniversary

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks with Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about a $270M settlement between Oklahoma and Purdue Pharma with the lion share of the money going to OSU's Health Center in Tulsa, the leader of the Senate forms a working group on Cost of Living Adjustment for state retirees and a number of issues have recently arisen at county jails including Nowata, Washington and Oklahoma. The trio also discusses a $16M supplemental request from the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and it's been a year since lawmakers passed HB1010XX which raised revenue to pay for teacher salary increases.
