“If we could just think of these as investments, and what's a return on investment. I think if we could flip the switch that way, maybe we could put aside a little bit of the politics. And whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or something else, I think we can all agree that you want to invest in things that have payoffs for the state as a whole.” -Dr. Cynthia Rogers, Professor of Economics at the University of Oklahoma, and Panelist for A Better Path Forward Report Release & Conversation CLICK TO WATCH VIDEO OK Policy recently released A Better Path Forward, a comprehensive report detailing historical and current looks at Oklahoma’s tax and budget systems, as well as offering reform options that can boost vital revenue and create a fairer tax structure.To recognize the report’s launch, we held a Report Release and Conversation featuring Labor Commissioner Leslie Osborn, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., Sen.
