Oklahoma Mayors Taking Over State Legislature
Mayors from across Oklahoma are meeting this morning at the State
Capitol. These city leaders are creating a legislative agenda for the
2013 Legislative Session.
They are convening for a one day
Legislative Session. The idea is to help develop legislative priorities
for municipalities and develop solutions to bring to the state
legislature.
This year, city leaders will focus on six areas, ranging from
transportation to public safety to workers compensation to community and
economic development. From these issues, the congress of mayors will
develop six resolutions to be presented to the Oklahoma Legislature.
The mayor of Perry, Charles Hall, will serve as the Honorary Speaker of the House for this event.
He says they will focus on the problems that are close to home.
Mayor Hall says, "the state of Oklahoma has a lot
of problems that state legislators will address, but we want our
legislature leaders to understand the problems on main street."
More than 80 mayors are expected to participate.
