Resolutions presented to Washington County Republican Party in Oklahoma 2015. These resolutions and a few others were presented during our county convention on Saturday, February 21, 2015. Although not all of them passed, they are definitely worth discussing in your county conventions (if you have not already met) and at our state convention in April. In general, we must cut the cost and scope of government to meet the budget shortfall especially as related to licensing agencies, boards, and commissions. It does no good to cut one place and add a fine or a fee in another IF the goal is to truly reduce the size and scope of government. Be ever watchful in your county/state. Grassroots are for limited, constitutional government.

Resolutions
1. That the Oklahoma Republican Party discourages the construction or use of additional state prisons
in Oklahoma, including those managed by private companies such as CCA. Instead, early release of
non-violent prisoners should be encouraged, starting with those whose prison sentences are for
possession of marijuana or other drugs.
2. That the Oklahoma Republican Party seeks to allow and encourage school districts to abolish or
share with adjoining districts the office of school superintendent. Districts may substitute a rotating
council of principals with an elected spokesman. Districts taking advantage of such flexibility should not
be penalized by lower state funding.
3. That the Oklahoma Republican Party seeks to suspend the disciplinary activities of state licensing
agencies until such time as the rules concerning the rights of those accused can be rewritten consistent
with rights of the criminally accused as set forth in the U.S. and Oklahoma constitutions and subsequent
laws and rules.
4. That the Oklahoma Republican Party seeks to disallow state licensing agencies, boards,
commissions from increasing their income from fines, fees, etc., in order to compensate for cuts in
funding from the state legislature
5. That the Oklahoma Republican Party seeks to move Oklahoma away from self supporting agencies,
boards, and commissions, as such agency funding is inconsistent with the concept of representative
government and that such funding is too much an invitation for self interested actions at the agency level.
