Liquor Petition to be on 2014 Ballot Armstrong Auditorium The Oklahoma Supreme Court recently ruled that the sale CONCERT–GOING AS IT’S MEANT TO BE of wine in grocery stores may be considered by voters in the form of a state question. Oklahomans for Modern Laws, the group supporting this effort, was working to have the signatures necessary for their Initiative Petition in time for the November election. However, due to the timing of the court’s decision, it appears they will likely withdraw the question and re-file. The group must collect 155,000 valid signatures, which may then be challenged in court, likely resulting in the question being considered by voters in November 2014. During the 2012 Legislative session, the Chamber’s The Point! Board of Directors voted to endorse the state question if its legality was upheld by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

It is a role that we have held for more than 125 years, and as one of the largest chambers of commerce in the United States, we believe that our organization has an enormous impact in the political arena. As we begin the legislative session, it is a critical time to fully engage in the political process. The state is facing tough budgeting decisions, and many of our most effective economic development programs are up for review. Our education system is at a crossroads. And uncertainty at the federal level leads to questions about heath care and transportation outcomes on a state and local level.
