Oklahoma‟s Path to Prosperity
OUR STARTING POINT
Our families, communities and businesses dependon our state and local governments to help:
Educate our children and train our workforce;
Protect our streets and investigate crimes;
Maintain and upgrade our roads and bridges;
Pay for the medical care provided by private doctors, nurses,therapists, home health aides, etc.
Ensure we have clean water and air;
Promote our small towns, rural areas, artists and investors;
Take care of those at risk of harm and abuse.
We cannot reach our goals and thrive as a statewithout solid public structures and systems.
