Submit your letters to: news@guthrienewsleader.netOn Tuesday, June 16th we must vote NO on SQ 832 as it is perhaps the most dangerous state question we will have ever voted on. If it passes, in just 3 years Oklahoma’s minimum wage will more than double to $15 per hour.

Oklahoma City Bombing Remembered

We took time this week to convene a joint legislative session to remember the events of April 19, 1995, when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, in downtown Oklahoma City, was bombed.One hundred and sixty eight people lost their lives that day.
