This mission is accomplished through a partnership with private citizens wishing to leave their footprint in our state's rich history.

  • Can't Turn Me Around
    CAN’T TURN ME AROUND: AN ORAL HISTORY PLAY by Julie Pearson Little Thunder This play is based on interviews conducted by Dr. Tanya Finchum and Juliana Nykolaiszyn for the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at Oklahoma State University. It includes first person accounts from nine of the forty-six women in the interview series, who served in the Oklahoma Legislature from 2007-2010. Classroom curriculum and specific lessons are also included in the interview collection. To access written transcripts or audio interviews, go to https://library.okstate.edu/search-and-find/collections/digital- collections/wotol/women-legislators/ This is a public domain play. No royalties are required for performances so long as they are given free of charge. However, any public performance must include a program acknowledgement of the playwright. 1 A NOTE ABOUT STYLE This is a presentational play which can be done Reader’s Theater style or as a memorized performance. Posture, voice and various costume elements such as scarves and jackets can be used to indicate the change from actor to character and vice versa. Because this play relies upon these transitions for its theatrical effect, and to emphasize the fact that the women legislators lines are quotes from their interviews, I distinguish between actors and interviewees by listing one or the other first. For example: Actor #3/LAURA BOYD means the actor starts as herself and then presents Boyd. When the notation is reversed, LAURA BOYD/Actor #3, Boyd gets the emphasis. https://library.okstate.edu/search-and-find/collections/digital- collections/wotol/women-legislators/ 2 CAST OF CHARACTERS Bernice Mitchell and Hannah Atkins/Actor #1 (African Americans) Lisa Johnson Billy/Actor #2 (Native American, Chickasaw) Laura Boyd/Actor #3 (white) Audience member/Actor #4 (white) Kathleen Wilcoxson/ Actor #5 (white) Betty Boyd/Actor #6 (white) 3 ACTOR #3 This is how Bernice Mitchell started out in politics.

  • Graves Resigns Corporation Commission Seat - 1997
    News Release - Graves Resigns Corporation Commission Seat - 1997 News from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Office of Public Information -- Phone: (405) 521-4180 FAX (405) 521-6945 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Patrick K. Petree Reference: OCC51397-35 Graves Resigns Corporation Commission Seat OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Chairman Cody L. Graves announced Tuesday (May 13) that he will resign his seat on the commission effective July 1, the start of the new fiscal year. He said his decision results from an opinion by the Oklahoma attorney general that pay raises granted by the state Legislature in 1995 and 1996 are invalid because elected officials cannot receive salary adjustments during their terms of office. The two adjustments had raised Graves' salary from $50,000 to $76,000, making it equal to the salaries of the other two commissioners. The second adjustment in question raised Commissioner Bob Anthony's salary from $70,000 to $76,000. Commissioner Ed Apple was not affected since he was elected after the commissioners' salary schedule had been increased to the $76,000 level. "The burden and sacrifice of public service always falls on the families of public servants. My family has certainly given a great deal in the last six years. Given the recent attorney general's opinion regarding commissioners' salaries, I cannot ask them to sacrifice any more. It's time for me to give back to my family," Graves said. The Oklahoma Attorney General has filed for a declaratory judgment in district court to validate its opinion. The Corporation Commission will take the position in court that the Legislature's amendments to the commissioners' salaries were proper and constitutional, Jay T.

  • Ethics Summary Final(2)
    ETHICS COMMISSION REPORT November 2009 SUMMARY After giving the Ethics Commission report to the House of Representatives earlier this afternoon, Governor Sanford has decided to make public that same document as part of his continued efforts to both fully cooperate with the Commission and share as much relevant information with the public as possible. We believe that when the full story is told, it will be clear that this Administration has kept a consistent eye out for the taxpayer. It is important to remember that we are still in the early stages of the ethics process, and that we continue to support the Ethics Commission being able to complete their work and then release all findings to the public. The steps are as follows: first, a preliminary report to determine whether or not there was anything even worth looking at (which was not unexpected as allegations had made headlines for months); next, will come our chance to shed light on any remaining questions when the Commission holds hearings; then, their conclusion will follow. Through this process, we will have the opportunity to show that Governor Sanford has complied fully with the law. For instance, that he has simply followed a legislatively audited and long held practice regarding overseas travel – the same practice accepted over the last 30 years as business class tickets were used by South Carolina Commerce staff, Members of the House and Senate, governors and Secretaries of Commerce on overseas investment trips. We feel vindicated that in this case the issues of probable cause are limited to about three dozen minor, technical matters that do not include any allegations of criminal conduct.
