Session Talk This session will largely be dominated by the tax cut conversation that started last year and over several special sessions. I want to spend a minute and share a few thoughts and

Dear Constituent,  Happy New Year! If we have not met yet, I’m Suzanne Schreiber, your State Representative. I was elected in 2022 and have served one year of my two-year term. My job is to represent you and your tax dollars at the Oklahoma State Capitol. I work hard to make decisions that put people over politics and solve real problems faced by Oklahomans.

Friends, Well, we aren’t as speakerless as Washington, DC but we do have our own dysfunction here in Oklahoma.  In this Stay in the Loop, I share a little on the recent special session (i.e. the dysfunction) and other recent and upcoming happenings. Special Session  As you probably know, the Governor called the legislature in for a special session to address tax cuts that would put Oklahoma on the path to zero income taxes as well as transparency in government budgeting.  You can watch the Governor’s press conference that was held prior to the legislature convening Monday.  An important fact that is
