  • Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? a Regression Discontinuity Design
    1 Paper Presented for 5th Annual Public Finance Consortium— “Politics and Administration in Public Finance” School of Public and Environmental Affairs Indiana University, Bloomington Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? A Regression Discontinuity Design Can Chen, PhD Associate Professor Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Georgia State University Boyuan Zhao PhD Candidate Department of Public Policy and Administration Florida International University Please do not cite this paper without the authors’ permission. 1 2 INTRODUCTION Recently, a growing number of politicians with prominent business backgrounds are joining the battlefield of politics, running for key positions in offices. Donald Trump is the most recent example of a U.S. president who has constructed his own successful business empire before his political life. At state level, successful business figures have turned into politics and won governorship in different states. For example, Rick Scott, the 45th governor of Florida, was the owner of Hospital Corporation of America and a venture capitalist, and Kevin Stitt, current governor of Oklahoma, was the founder, chairman and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group. These candidates have successful executive experience as business leaders, while many of them have little or no experience in public offices prior to their governor tenure. Their professional career path distinctively contrasts with “conventional” career politicians who typically hold law degrees, start their career from legal affair positions, and climb up the political ladder gradually. State governors are key actors in the budgeting process of the states. Governors are responsible for budget development and recommendation, in which promote their policy preference. Besides, they have line-item veto power on the state budget.

  • Oklahoma State Election Board
    OKLAHOMA STATE ELECTION BOARD June 2, 2021 The Honorable Jim lnhofe, United States Senator The Honorable James Lankford, United States Senator Senators lnhofe and Lankford: As Oklahoma's chief election official, I am writing to make you aware of my concerns regarding S.1, companion legislation of H.R.1, which was considered by the United States Senate Rules Committee on May 11, 2021. In short, S.1 is an unnecessary (and constitutionally dubious) federalization of election administration policy that would negatively impact our ability to administer fair and secure elections in Oklahoma. The administration of elections should be left to the States, as the Constitution and our federal form of government intends. The justification for S.1 that I hear most often from its proponents is that it is necessary to counter new "voter suppression" la ws in the States. But the concerns about these new election laws seem exaggerated, and in many cases appear to be based on misinformation about the content of those laws. Furthermore, regardless of what is happening in other States, there is no evidence of "voter suppression" here in our state. S.1 seeks to supersede most of Oklahoma's election administration and election integrity laws. For example, it legalizes absentee ballot harvesting and makes it virtually impossible to verify the identity of in-person and absentee voters - in direct contravention of Oklahoma's election laws. S.1 also attempts to micromanage some of the most minute details of election administration, such as voting hours and polling place locations. S.1 is not compatible with Oklahoma's election deadlines.

  • How Did Law, Order, and Growth Develop in Oklahoma?
    Chapter How did law, order, and growth develop 10 in Oklahoma? Where did the name “Oklahoma” originate? In 1866, the U.S. and Five Civilized Tribes signed the Reconstruction treaties. That was when Choctaw Chief Allen Wright coined the word “Oklahoma.” He made it from two Choctaw words, “okla” and “humma,” meaning “Land of the Red Man.” He meant it for the eastern half of Indian Terri- tory, the home of the five tribes. In later years, however, “Oklaho- ma country” became the common name for the Unassigned Lands. It was 1890 when the western half of the old Indian Territory became the Territory of Oklahoma. What was provisional government? On April 23, 1889, the day after the Land Run, settlers met in Oklahoma City and Guthrie to set up temporary governments. Other towns followed suit. Soon all the towns on the prairie had a type of skeleton government, usually run by a mayor. Homesteaders also chose town marshals and school boards. They chose committees to resolve dispute over land claims. Sur- veyors mapped out Guthrie and Oklahoma City. There were dis- putes about an unofficial government making official property Allen Wright Oklahoma Historical lines, but, later, the surveys were declared legal. Today, they remain the Society basis for land titles in those cities. The temporary or provisional governments were indeed “unof- ficial.” They succeeded only because the majority of people agreed to their authority. Not everyone agreed, however, and crime was hard to control. Often troops from Fort Reno closed the gap between order and disorder. The army’s presence controlled violence enough to keep set- tlers there.

  • These Hills, This Trail: Cherokee Outdoor Historical Drama and The
    THESE HILLS, THIS TRAIL: CHEROKEE OUTDOOR HISTORICAL DRAMA AND THE POWER OF CHANGE/CHANGE OF POWER by CHARLES ADRON FARRIS III (Under the Direction of Marla Carlson and Jace Weaver) ABSTRACT This dissertation compares the historical development of the Cherokee Historical Association’s (CHA) Unto These Hills (1950) in Cherokee, North Carolina, and the Cherokee Heritage Center’s (CHC) The Trail of Tears (1968) in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Unto These Hills and The Trail of Tears were originally commissioned to commemorate the survivability of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and the Cherokee Nation (CN) in light of nineteenth- century Euramerican acts of deracination and transculturation. Kermit Hunter, a white southern American playwright, wrote both dramas to attract tourists to the locations of two of America’s greatest events. Hunter’s scripts are littered, however, with misleading historical narratives that tend to indulge Euramerican jingoistic sympathies rather than commemorate the Cherokees’ survivability. It wasn’t until 2006/1995 that the CHA in North Carolina and the CHC in Oklahoma proactively shelved Hunter’s dramas, replacing them with historically “accurate” and culturally sensitive versions. Since the initial shelving of Hunter’s scripts, Unto These Hills and The Trail of Tears have undergone substantial changes, almost on a yearly basis. Artists have worked to correct the romanticized notions of Cherokee-Euramerican history in the dramas, replacing problematic information with more accurate and culturally specific material. Such modification has been and continues to be a tricky endeavor: the process of improvement has triggered mixed reviews from touristic audiences and from within Cherokee communities themselves.
