GOVERNMENT RELATIONS SPONSORS Cox Communications Oklahoma City Del City Choctaw Moore Norman Yukon Edmond Midwest City Stillwater Enable Midstream Partners 1 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN As we prepare for the 2015 legislative session, let's first take a moment to reflect on all that's been accomplished over the past few years: an overhaul of our workers’ compensation reform system, major lawsuit reform, moderate and responsible tax cuts, significant improvements in infrastructure funding and creation of a stable tax structure for our oil and gas companies. Our Legislature and Governor are to be commended for staying focused on improving Oklahoma's business climate. As a result of their good work, Oklahoma is now recognized as one of the most business- friendly states in the country. State economic development incentive programs also have contributed to our economic growth. Our Governor, our Chamber and economic developers statewide rely on these programs to recruit high-paying jobs and capital investment. By way of example, Boeing moved jobs to DAVID RAINBOLT Oklahoma City from California, Kansas and Washington. Additionally, GE’s newest research facility, now under construction in the heart of Oklahoma Chairman, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber City, could have been located anywhere in the world. Without our state's Quality Jobs Act, the Aerospace Engineer Tax Credit and other incentive BancFirst programs, those jobs would not be coming to Oklahoma. The redevelopment of many areas in downtown Oklahoma City likely would not have occurred without the state’s tax credit for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings – a necessary component of financing the high renovation cost of historic buildings. Importantly, the hotels, restaurants and offices in these buildings generate a reliable stream of tax revenue for the state and city. The state’s return on investment is easily calculable and outweighs the cost of associated incentives by a multiple. This year we expect the Legislature to scrutinize many of the state's tax credits and incentive programs. As the state's largest economic development organization, we welcome the scrutiny. We favor increased transparency in the programs and even acknowledge there are several incentives that may need to be changed. If a program cannot show an acceptable return, it should be scaled back or repealed. While we believe a thorough review is appropriate and necessary, we will also argue that those programs that do work should be kept or even enhanced. To this end, our legislative agenda includes a list of the incentive programs we will work to protect. We believe they generate revenue and allow our state to effectively compete in the battle for jobs. We ask that you join our effort to work closely with the Legislature to ensure the continued improvement of our business climate. 2 BE AN ADVOCATE FOR BUSINESS. Our world is constantly changing.

With only a few days left, it’s more important than ever to tell your lawmakers that Cuts Have Consequences by signing this petition. Our state leaders are contending with $611 million budget shortfall this year and scheduled tax reductions, which means cuts will have to be made. Our students simply cannot afford any more cuts. So please sign this petition today, then share it with your friends and family who agree education should be kept off the chopping block. If you can find five Oklahomans who also care about our students and will add their names to the petition, Oklahoma lawmakers will not be able to ignore the urgency and importance of this issue. There is power in numbers and if we stand together in this petition, lawmakers will hear us! There has been no public movement on the issue of third-grade reading and keeping the parent-teacher-school teams in place this week.
