Oklahoma At A Competitive Disadvantage
May 19, 2008
Fair and Biased, the blog run by Steve Fair, reports today on the trial bar’s success at not only blocking tort reform in Oklahoma, but worker’s comp reform, as well.
Two major issues that were not resolved this legislature session were tort reform and workers comp reform. Interrelated, they are two issues opposed by the powerful trial lawyer lobby….Once again Oklahoma is placed at a competitive disadvantage vs. surrounding states in recruiting business and industry and new jobs to the state because Democrats want to appease the powerful trial lawyer lobby.
But Fair also gives us a glimmer of hope:
With the distinct likelihood of Republicans taking over the State Senate in November, all I can say is- Wait till next year!
