Yesterday a budget agreement was struck between the legislative leadership and the governor. The budget includes the stimulus money. A search of the the websites of the Oklahoma Governor, House or Senate revealed no clue as to whether OSSM dorm funding is included in the state’s budget or the governor’s stimulus request.
One week left in legislative session. Let’s hope the money for the dorm is in the budget or $1.2 million will be lost.
