a mESSagE frOm david ThOmpSONThe business that takes place at our capitols, both state and federal, have a great bearing on the success of our businesses, as well as our city’s ability to recruit new businesses and grow our economy. Because of the significant impact the legislature has on the business community, the Government Relations staff at the Chamber acts as an advocate and liaison on behalf of the more than 5,000 member businesses.

And while the staff does a tremendous job of keeping us abreast of the important issues that affect the business community and working to pass pro-business legislation, we cannot be satisfied by simply reading updates and letting others do the work. In order for the Chamber to be truly effective in advocating for business at the capitol, our membership needs to be involved.

There are a number of ways you can participate in the Chamber’s role at our capitols.

With the Chamber’s Legislative Action Center, www.LegislativeActionCenter.net, you have access to the current issues and legislation being discussed at the capitol. There are also links to finding your elected officials and agencies. Since communicating with our elected officials is key to making our voice heard, this tool is incredibly useful.

Whether by phone, e-mail or hand written letter, there’s nothing more effective than personal contact with your elected officials. Throughout the Legislative session, there may be a number of issues that directly affect your business or industry, or the business community as a whole. When these issues arise, it is vital that we contact our officials and let our opinions be known. These individuals are our “representatives,” but they cannot effectively represent us if we do not make our voices heard.

The beginning of 2010 will bring another opportunity for the Chamber to increase its effectiveness at the state capitol through the formation of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber Political Action Committee (Greater OKC Chamber PAC). Decisions made at our capitol have a significant impact on the business community. Through the PAC, we will be able to support candidates for elective office who share the Chamber’s vision for creating a business-friendly city.

I hope that you’ll take a closer look at each of the avenues of involvement, and see how you can play a part in our efforts. Through a concerted grassroots effort, I’m certain we can continue to have a positive impact on the important work done at the Capitol.

Sincerely,

David Thompson2010 Chamber ChairmanOPUBCO Communications Group President

gET iNvOlvEd. makE a diffErENcE.With the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s Legislative Action Center.

Every member of the business community can make a difference at the capitol by personally communicating with their legislators and encouraging employees and coworkers to do the same. Even a small amount of letters, e-mails or phone calls can sway a vote. When you hear that an issue important to your business is under consideration, please contact your elected officials.

Communicating with your legislators is quick and simple. The Legislative Action Center provides the tools you need to make your voice heard.

call.Pick up the phone and call your legislator at their office. Be sure to leave a message if they’re unavailable.

mail.Using business or personal letterhead, send your legislator a letter expressing your concerns over issues.

E-mail.You can send an e-mail directly to your legislator through www.LegislativeActionCenter.net.

viSiT.Schedule an appointment to sit down and talk to your legislator face-to-face.

The key to creating a more business-friendly environment in Oklahoma rests in bringing the voice of the business community to the state capitol.

The outcome of state and national races on Election Day impact Oklahoma business. Every day, Oklahoma’s legislators make decisions about our economy, health care, education, taxes and more. These decisions affect our companies’ abilities to grow and compete.

That’s why the Prosperity Project provides Oklahoma employers with tools to help educate their employees about critical election issues and candidates that affect their future. The goal is to motivate citizens to take an active role in state and federal elections by partnering with Oklahoma employers, chambers of commerce, trade associations and economic development organizations to ensure accurate, non-partisan information is distributed.

Research shows that employees want information from their employers on election issues and candidates that affect their jobs. And, once informed, they will vote in record numbers. Nearly 1,300 Oklahoma companies and their nearly 500,000 employees participated in the 2008 Prosperity Project.

The project’s Web site, www.okprosperity.com, is a vital resource for voters who are looking to get informed. With access to voter guides, information on absentee and early voting, voters can ensure they are informed before they head to the polls.

For more information on the Prosperity Project or to sign up to receive free election education toolkits for this year’s election, visit www.okprosperity.com.

The individuals elected to our state legislature will make important decisions regarding our economy and the ways in which we do business. As citizens, we have a responsibility to vote. Moreover, as active participants of the business community, we must act on that responsibility to continue to create opportunities for our state.

Research and DevelopmentThe Chamber supports programs such as those currently managed by OCAST and a line-item appropriation for the seed capital program.

The Chamber will oppose all efforts to unreasonably restrict the continued development of the state’s bioscience and research programs and will support efforts to foster an environment that is conducive to further research.

Oklahoma Quality Events Incentive Act The Chamber will support the enactment of SB 1284, The Quality Events

Incentive Act. This legislation will allow Oklahoma to remain competitive with other states by allowing a host community to use a portion of the incremental sales tax

generated by an event to be used to recruit and retain premier events.

EDGE Fund The Chamber advocates fully funding the EDGE endowment fund and identifying a permanent funding source that will ultimately allow the EDGE Fund to reach $1 billion.

accOUNTabiliTy, iNNOvaTiON & privaTizaTiON acTThe Chamber supports the enactment of the Accountability, Innovation and Privatization Act. This measure, introduced in 2009 as SB 646 by President Pro Temp Coffee and Speaker Benge, would require performance audits to be conducted on state agencies, periodic review of tax incentives, and the study of privatizing certain government assets and services.

EdUcaTiONFundamental Education Reform The Chamber and Oklahoma Business and Education Coalition (OBEC) work together to implement important education reforms. We support state legislation necessary to ensure a bold application by Oklahoma for U.S. Department of Education Race to the Top awards that could provide additional funds for Oklahoma education. In particular we will focus on:

• Improving the student data systems that can track students academic progress.

• Removing legislative barriers to creation of charter schools.

• Working to establish new systems of teacher compensation and evaluation that will incentivize high level teacher performance (pay for performance).

• Creating a focus on urban education that recognizes that there are different needs and challenges for urban educators.

Curriculum Standards and Graduation RequirementsThe Chamber and OBEC worked to enact and implement the Achieving Classroom Excellence (ACE) law. ACE will ensure all high school graduates are academically prepared to enter college or the workforce. Students must complete rigorous coursework and pass four of seven end-of-instruction exams. The Chamber opposes weakening graduation requirements or curriculum standards. We oppose legislative and administrative actions that could reduce the rigor of the testing system.

Higher Education Data show that increasing the number of college graduates in Oklahoma will increase our per capita income and strengthen and expand our economy. We support higher education funding as growth revenue is available.

Workforce IncentivesIn 2008 legislation was passed to provide tax credits to employers in certain industries who hire recent graduates. The Chamber supports expansion of HB 3239 to include more demand occupations. This will help retain and attract recent college graduates. We also support creation of incentives that encourages employers to create internship opportunities.

Support Implementation of Pre-K Programs Our state has a nationally recognized, fully funded all-day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten program. The Chamber strongly encourages the OKC School district and all other districts to

implement all-day pre-kindergarten for every child by 2010. In order to achieve this goal schools must create partnerships with local businesses and non-profit organizations. The state provides special indemnification for schools. We support legislation, similar to coverage that is given to charter schools that will protect partners from unnecessary risk.

hEalTh carEMandatesThe Chamber opposes new health insurance mandates and increased liability that would undermine an employer’s ability to provide quality health insurance at a reasonable cost to employees.

Lawsuit ReformThe Chamber supports additional lawsuit reform to address and curb the rising cost of health care and the rising cost of liability insurance for the state’s physicians and providers.

UninsuredThe Chamber supports programs and initiatives that work to reduce the number of the state’s uninsured (Insure OK, the State Coverage Initiative) and supports efforts to identify viable alternatives that will provide permanent, sustainable (lock box) funding for Insure Oklahoma.

MedicaidThe Chamber supports a long-term solution to address full reimbursement funding for Medicaid services provided by

TOp priOriTy iSSUES

Page 10: 2010 Legislative Guide

10

hospitals to the federal upper payment limit and not less than 100% of Medicare rates for physicians.

The Chamber supports strict penalties and prosecution of those who seek monetary gain by defrauding the Medicaid system.

WellnessThe Chamber supports state wellness and prevention programs such as Strong and Healthy Oklahoma, outreach initiatives, and workplace and school based wellness programs.

Federal IssuesThe Chamber supports improving health care quality, coverage, and affordability without imposing new mandates and/or taxes on business. Therefore, the Chamber opposes a federal government-run/public option or single-payer health care system with government mandates.

lawSUiT rEfOrmThe Chamber supports legislation to create an Indemnity Fund to pay non-economic damage awards in excess of $400,000 in those negligence cases where the cap is imposed.

rEgiONal iSSUESThe Chamber will continue to foster the development of the Central Oklahoma Regional Advocacy Alliance (CORAA). The Alliance, made up of local chamber and business leadership in the central Oklahoma area, will develop and implement a public policy agenda that addresses regional issues critical to central Oklahoma, including air quality, transportation/transit, and long-term water supply.

TraNSpOrTaTiON I-40 Cross-Town RealignmentThe Chamber will work with the Congressional Delegation, Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), the City of Oklahoma City and Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) to secure the funding necessary to construct the Downtown Boulevard. The Chamber will advocate for inclusion of the Boulevard on ODOT’s eight-year construction plan for funding and completion by FY 2014.

The Chamber will also advocate for: • Funding and completion of the Lincoln/Byers project to connect Bricktown to the Oklahoma River and Boathouse Row by FY 2010.

• Funding and completion of the I-40 Cross-town realignment mainline by FY2012.

• Funding and completion of the teardown of the elevated portion of the existing I-40 Cross-town to make way for the Downtown Boulevard by FY 2013.

Federal Highway Trust FundThe Chamber will work with ODOT, the City of Oklahoma City, ACOG and our Congressional Delegation in support of a permanent funding solution for the Federal Highway Trust Fund and also support the reauthorization of the multi-year Surface

Transportation Act.

TOp priOriTy iSSUES

Major InterchangesThe Chamber will advocate for funding and completing work on major interchanges located at I-44 and Broadway Extension, I-240 and I-35 (Crossroads) and I-40 and Morgan Road as well as the necessary improvements to S.H. 74 (north of Lake Hefner Parkway).

10th Street RampThe Chamber will advocate for completion of I-235/Harrison /10th street ramp access improvements by FY 2010.

TransitThe Chamber supports continued dialogue on transit programs that will best serve the central Oklahoma region, including:

• COTPA’s 2005 Fixed Guideway Transit Study (including alternative analysis process).

• ACOG’s Regional Transit Dialogue Committees to identify regional transit alternatives/solutions for central Oklahoma.

• Amending state laws to facilitate the development of a Regional Transit Authority in central Oklahoma.

Quiet ZonesThe Chamber will work with the City of Oklahoma City to establish a Railroad Quiet Zone on the BNSF mainline running through downtown OKC.

wOrkErS’ cOmpENSaTiONThe Chamber supports the passage of SQ 753 (scheduled for the November 2010 ballot) which would require senate approval of workers’ compensation judges appointed by the governor. The Chamber also supports the following changes to the state’s workers’ compensation system:

• Require compliance with Evidence Based Treatment Guidelines and penalize non-compliance. • Increase accountability by expediting the process through which claims are resolved and penalizing a lack of adherence to deadlines.

• Require mandatory mediation before a hearing. •Appoint special workers’ compensation judges to hear appeals.

NEw bUSiNESS dEvElOpmENTOklahoma Innovation Accelerator Package Contingent upon state growth funds being available, the Chamber supports bundling three new programs – Tech Development Fund, Incubator Assistance Grants, and the Executive in Residence Program – into a $15 million Oklahoma Innovation Accelerator Package.

• The $10 million Tech Development Fund would be used to reward tech transfer offices as well as transitional research and commercialization at our research entities. • The $3 million Incubator Assistance Grant Fund would spur commercialization and formation of companies across the state. • The $2 million Executive in Residence program would provide an executive to help guide and advise new companies in the early stages of growth and development.

mONiTOriNg iSSUESbUSiNESS iNcENTivESThe Chamber supports incentives to attract new businesses to the Greater Oklahoma City area. The Chamber will guard against attempts to change, sunset or repeal existing business incentives such as the Quality Jobs Act, the Ad Valorem Reimbursement Fund and the Quality Investment Act.

immigraTiONThe Chamber will monitor immigration issues related to HB 1804 and the anticipated ruling by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on that legislation’s constitutionality. The Chamber will oppose changes to the state’s immigration laws that place undue burdens and restrictions on Oklahoma employers for employee verification.

ENvirONmENTClean AirThe Chamber will work with the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) and other stakeholders to address EPA’s requirements for ozone. Although Central Oklahoma is currently in compliance, a non-attainment designation could result in significant restrictions being placed on certain businesses which would impede economic development in the region.

Clean WaterThe Chamber will work with the City of Oklahoma City to support the availability of a long-term water supply for central Oklahoma. The Chamber will also monitor the development and completion of OWRB’s update to Oklahoma’s Comprehensive Water Plan.

Tax iNcrEmENT fiNaNciNg (Tif’S) aNd bUSiNESS imprOvEmENT diSTricTS (bid’S)The Chamber will work to protect the current laws on tax increment financing to ensure its continuing viability as an economic development tool. Likewise, the Chamber will monitor

any efforts to change the laws relating to business improvement districts.

OppOrTUNiTy fUNdThe Chamber supported the creation of the Opportunity Fund in 2006 as a “closing fund” for economic development opportunities. However, a 2007 decision by the Oklahoma Supreme Court invalidated the fund’s approval process and marked the end of additional appropriations into the fund by the legislature. Attempts to rewrite the law relating to the use of this fund will be monitored by the Chamber.

EmiNENT dOmaiNThe Chamber will monitor all eminent domain legislation and seek to prevent changes that could negatively impact economic development.

EdUcaTiONStudent Records SystemsIn 2009 the legislature enacted SB 222 that created a Council responsible for advising on coordination and creation of a statewide P-20 Student Records System. Their recommendations are to be provided to the legislature by January 2010. The system must include student level, course grades, testing results, demographic and personal information. The system would also help track students who move from district to district and help monitor graduation rates. The Chamber supports aggressive implementation of a uniform, statewide student records system.

Increased Instruction TimeStudies show a correlation between student time in the classroom and increased academic performance. The Chamber believes it is important to increase the amount of time spent on classroom instruction. We support increasing the number of instructional days beyond the currently required 175 days. We also support implementation of strategies to help schools utilize time more efficiently and increase the time spent “on-task.” We recognize the fact that additional time would require additional spending and we

Page 14: 2010 Legislative Guide

14

support the request for funding additional instruction time only when revenue is available.

Teacher Salaries - Pay for PerformanceThe business community regularly

supports efforts to raise teacher salaries to the regional average. The Chamber will continue to support creating competitive salary and benefits for teachers but any future benefit enhancements should be based on improved student performance. Creating a pay-for-performance program for teachers will make teaching more competitive, incent higher performance and help raise teacher salaries to the regional average.

We support allowing individual school districts to implement a pay for performance system to provide financial incentives for teachers and/or schools that encourages high performance and improved classroom learning.

District Flexibility Currently, superintendents and principals must adhere to strict statewide regulations that don’t accommodate the vast differences in Oklahoma’s school districts. Allowing more flexibility can encourage innovation and improved performance. The Chamber supports the elimination of unnecessary rules and regulations so schools can adapt to their individual needs. We support consideration of pilot programs that allow districts to “opt-out” of onerous rules that are not critical to student success. Districts provided this flexibility must continue to be accountable for student achievement standards.

Dropout Prevention Recent studies have showed that dropout rates among Oklahoma students are at an all time high. The Chamber supports implementation of strategies and passage of legislation that will help keep kids in school and graduate. Possible strategies

include additional counseling, development of career coaches and community led programming.

Improved Teacher PreparationTeachers today face many challenges and schools that train teachers must continue to adapt and improve to help prepare our teachers of tomorrow. Higher education schools for education must be challenged to improve curriculum and better prepare teachers. Higher education should also monitor their students after graduation. We support implementation of programs that will improve the education of teachers and provide additional “real world experience” to teachers before they enter the workforce.

Support for Career Tech SystemThe Oklahoma Career Tech System is recognized as one of the top systems in the nation. The Chamber supports enhancement and development of Career Tech programming such as; high school dropout recovery, school credit recovery (remediation), career focused academies, and specialized education and technical training for targeted industry.

Local Funding of Common EducationThe Chamber encourages passage of legislation that will provide communities with increased freedom and opportunity to address the rapidly expanding financial needs of schools.

Endowed Chairs Oklahoma’s endowed chairs program is one of the most successful public/private partnerships in the nation. It provides state funding to enhance private funding for important teaching and research professorships. In 2008, the legislature authorized a bond issue to fund $100 million for the backlog of the state portion of the contributions. Due to budget constraints they appropriated only $50 million. We support finding a solution to secure the needed funding to meet the state commitment.

pOlicy STaTEmENTSEarly Childhood Education:BACKGROUND: All day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten education, as documented by research nationally and in Oklahoma, produces a change in student learning that provides immediate and long-term gains in achievement. In Oklahoma County, 42.5% of 1st through 3rd graders need reading remediation (state average is 35%). The Chamber recognizes that learning begins at birth and supports a system to ensure every student is proficient in math and reading skills by the end of 3rd grade. Research indicates students with all day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten see immediate positive gains in achievement and over the long term, resulting in fewer discipline issues and lower drop-out rates.

Oklahoma has a nationally recognized, fully funded all-day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten program. Recognizing the importance of early

childhood programs for future school success, the legislature made it mandatory for districts to offer full-day kindergarten, beginning with the 2011-2012 school year.

POLICY STATEMENT: The Chamber supports maximizing early opportunities for development and learning. The Chamber will help lead partnerships that create widespread utilization of all-day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. We applaud the Oklahoma City Public Schools’ commitment to make sure all-day kindergarten available for every child beginning in the

2009-10 school year. We strongly encourage all districts to implement all-day pre-kindergarten for every child beginning in the 2011-12 school year.

State Question 744: BACKGROUND: In 2010 voters will vote on State Question 744. SQ 744 is a Constitutional amendment to mandate that state spending on common education be at least equal to the regional per-pupil average. The Oklahoma Education Association led the effort to collect the signatures needed, 138,970, to put the State Question on the ballot in October 2008.

In absolute numbers not adjusted for differences in cost of living or per-capita income, Oklahoma currently spends $6,900 per student and the current regional per pupil spending average is $8,300. Common education receives almost half of the state’s current $7.1 billion budget. If the amendment is approved the Legislature would be required to increase common education annual appropriations by at least $850 million. The One Oklahoma Coalition has been formed to oppose passage of the State Question.

POLICY STATEMENT: The Chamber is an ardent supporter of education, teachers, and efforts to improve academic performance but opposes the proposed constitutional amendment SQ 744. We oppose mandates, like this one, that we believe could not be funded by growth in revenues and therefore would result in massive tax increase and/or drastic cuts in other state programs and services to citizens. Increased education spending should be tied to innovative reforms (such as increased instructional time, early childhood education implementation, performance pay and maintaining high achievement standards) and improved accountability.

rEgiONal parTNErShipSThe Greater Oklahoma City Chamber recognizes the benefits of partnerships when working to represent the business community and create a pro-business climate statewide. In 2010, the Chamber will work together with the Central Oklahoma Regional Advocacy Alliance and the Tulsa Metro Chamber in lobbying the State Legislature on various issues.

cENTral OklahOma rEgiONal advOcacy alliaNcE The mission of the Central Oklahoma Regional Advocacy Alliance (CORAA) is to develop and implement a public policy agenda which seeks to maintain and expand a vibrant economic environment in the Oklahoma City region and equally benefit each of the participants of the region. Participants in the Alliance include the business and professional leadership of the chambers of commerce in the Greater Oklahoma City area. Invited to participate are the Choctaw, Edmond, El Reno, Greater Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Del City, Midwest City, Moore, Mustang, Noble, Norman, Northwest Oklahoma City, South Oklahoma City and Yukon chambers of commerce.

2010 cOraa lEgiSlaTivE agENdaIn 2010, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, in participation with CORAA, will focus on the following issues as they become active at the state capitol:

Regional Air Quality • Work with ACOG, ODEQ, and other partners to address concerns and define solutions for central Oklahoma’s current and future compliance with the EPA’s national ambient clean air standards. • Monitor clean air/ozone policy issues that might directly impact the economic viability of our region. • Work with ACOG in promoting the “Clean Air Alert Day” Program to our cities and businesses.

Regional Transportation • Support Regional Fixed Guideway Study for Central Oklahoma. • Actively participate in the Regional Transit Dialogue Planning Team. • Support additional funding through: • Federal Stimulus Package • Federal Highway Trust Fund • Reauthorization of Federal multi-year surface transportation legislation • Ensure funding gains made at state legislature are not threatened. • Ensure the state’s eight year construction plan remains intact. • Support amending state laws to facilitate the development of improved transit in central Oklahoma.

Support Long Term Water Supplies for Central OklahomaCities in the Oklahoma City Metro Area are working together as part of the proposed Oklahoma Regional Water Utilities Trust to secure an ample water supply for Central Oklahoma.

2010 grEaTEr OklahOma ciTy & TUlSa mETrO chambErS jOiNT lEgiSlaTivE agENdaIn 2010, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and Tulsa Metro Chamber will work together in lobbying the State Legislature on the following business issues:

Accountability, Innovation & Privatization ActSupport enacting the Accountability, Innovation and Privatization Act. This measure, introduced in 2009 as SB 646 by President Pro Temp Coffee and Speaker Benge, would require performance audits to be conducted on state agencies, periodic review of tax incentives, and the study of privatizing certain government assets and services.

Business IncentivesSupport establishing an economic development program funded by annual state appropriations to create a project or “deal closing” fund to attract, grow and retain businesses in Oklahoma.

EDGE FundSupport funding for the EDGE fund through strategies such as monetizing state assets or by identifying a permanent funding source. (Contingent upon funds being available.)

EducationOppose the passage of State Question 744 (Helping Oklahoma Public Education) as an unfunded mandate on the state which would require enacting of a large tax increase or drastic budget cuts to other state services.

Support full and aggressive implementation of a statewide student records system to cover Pre K-20 students.

Support greater transparency and objectivity in the state data and accountability systems, oppose legislative and administrative actions that could reduce the rigor of the testing system or the ACE standards and support legislation early in the 2010 session that ensures that Oklahoma will be competitive for Race to the Top funds.

Health CareMaintain the state’s level of Medicaid funding to ensure access to health services for eligible Oklahomans.

Oppose further health care benefit plan mandates.

Support programs and initiatives that work to reduce the number of the state’s uninsured (Insure OK, the State Coverage Initiative, etc.) and support efforts to identify viable alternatives that will provide permanent, sustainable (lock box) funding for Insure Oklahoma.

ImmigrationOppose advancing further state immigration legislation that places Oklahoma employers at a competitive disadvantage or subjects them to regulations beyond those required under federal law.

Income TaxesSupport a pause in further decreases in the state income tax.

Page 18: 2010 Legislative Guide

OCASTSupport a line-item appropriation for OCAST’s seed capital program. Additionally, consider placing certain programs presently operated by OCAST (including the seed capital program) under the control of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce.

Oklahoma Innovation Accelerator PackageSupport bundling three new programs (Tech Development Fund, Incubator Assistance Grants, and the Executive in Residence Program) as a $15 million Oklahoma Innovation Accelerator Package (contingent upon state growth funds being available).

Oklahoma Quality Events Incentive ActSupport enacting the Oklahoma Quality Events Incentive Act.

OSU Medical CenterContinue to fulfill $5 million commitment to stabilize the graduate medical education program at the OSU Medical Center.

Research And DevelopmentOppose efforts to unreasonably restrict the continued development of the state’s bioscience and research programs and support efforts to foster an environment that is conducive to further research.

Transportation Amend state law to facilitate the development of Regional Transit Authorities (RTA’s) in the state.

Work closely with local, state and federal officials to ensure adequate funding is provided for the state’s eight year construction plan, including securing additional funding for the Highway Trust Fund and reauthorizing the Federal Surface Transportation Act.

Support ODOT’s High Speed Rail Application for $2 billion to the Federal Railroad Administration for major rail transit improvements between Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Workers’ CompensationSupport the passage of SQ 753 which would require senate approval of workers’ compensation judges appointed by the

governor. Also support the following changes to the state’s workers’ compensation system: • Require compliance with Evidence Based Treatment Guidelines and penalize non-compliance. • Increase accountability by expediting the process through which claims are resolved and penalizing a lack of adherence to deadlines. • Require mandatory mediation before a hearing • Appoint special workers’ compensation judges to hear appeals.

Workforce IncentivesSupport the expansion of workforce incentives to include more demand for occupations in industries such as biotechnology, healthcare, advanced manufacturing and energy.

A key role of the Chamber is to manage and pass selective initiative (non-candidate) campaigns to promote and help grow our community, county, region or state. The passage of the original MAPS in 1993, MAPS for Kids in 2001, the increase in the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Room Tax in 2004, the 2008 City sales tax to expand the Ford Center and, most recently, MAPS 3 in 2009, show that the Oklahoma City area is one of the most progressive regions in the nation. These innovative approaches to funding much-needed local improvements are the cornerstones to the growth, optimism and pride that are prevalent in Greater Oklahoma City. As the “go-to” organization, the Chamber ensures the community is aware of and endorses important bond and sales tax initiatives. More than 50 years ago, the Chamber supported the first bond issue to establish Tinker Air Force Base, similar to the $55 million Friends of Tinker Bond Issues passed in 2008. The Chamber also regularly supports and endorses School and City infrastructure bond issues as well as State Questions and Referendums.

The role of the Chamber varies according to the issue and election, but every campaign must have an organized fundraising effort, message development and coordinated get-out-the-vote activities in order to be successful. The Chamber fulfills any or all of these roles as determined by its Board of Directors.

It is vital that Oklahoma County come up with a solution for the jail. If a community solution cannot be found, the federal government’s judgement will overburden taxpayers. The Chamber will continue to work closely with Oklahoma County in order to find the best solution for the community.

STATE QUESTION 744 In November, voters will vote on State Question 744, a Constitutional amendment to mandate that state spending

on common education be at least equal to the regional per-pupil average. If the amendment is approved, the Legislature would be required to increase common education annual appropriations by at least $850 million. The Chamber opposes SQ 744.

WHAT IS THE GREATER OKC CHAMBER PAC?The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber Political Action Committee (Greater OKC Chamber PAC) was organized to better fulfill the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s mission of creating a more business-friendly environment in Oklahoma. The PAC is funded by contributions from individuals* who share in this mission.

WHY DOES THE CHAMBER NEED A PAC?Decisions made at the state capitol have a significant impact on the success of our businesses, as well as our city’s ability to recruit new businesses and grow the economy. Therefore the PAC will support the election of candidates at the state level who favor a strong business climate conducive to job creation and growth, a strong school system and a progressive future for Greater Oklahoma City.

HOW CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO THE GREATER OKC CHAMBER PAC?Any individual who is a U.S. Citizen or a permanent resident residing in the U.S. is eligible to join the Greater OKC Chamber PAC. All contributions are strictly voluntary. There is no minimum amount for a contribution; however, suggested contribution levels are available. You may give more or less than the suggested amount. By law, there is a maximum contribution amount of $5,000 per year, per family.

HOW CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION? To join or find out more information about the Greater OKC Chamber PAC, please contact Mark VanLandingham, Vice President Government Relations, at (405) 297-8925 or [email protected] or visit www.okcchamber.com/PAC.

*Contributions to the Greater OKC PAC must be in the form of personal contributions (corporate and PAC to PAC contributions are disallowed by state law).

The Research Institute for Economic Development (RIED) evaluates legislators in the Oklahoma House and Senate to determine their support for business, jobs and economic growth issues. Results are published in an annual study highlighting the voting record of each legislator in areas such as business, industry, jobs and economic growth issues.

The 2009 study revealed slight shift in support for economic growth in both the House and Senate. More than 57% of the House, down from 60% in 2008, and nearly 55% of the Senate, up from 50% in 2008, earned passing scores. When RIED released its first evaluations in 1999, only 35% of Oklahoma’s legislators supported business and economic growth issues.

Founded in 1997 by business, industry and financial leaders across the state, RIED is a non-partisan organization endorsed by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the Tulsa Metro Chamber and The State Chamber.

Legislators’ RIED scores for 2002-2009 are listed alphabetically in the table below. Scores of 70 or more reflect a pro-business voting record. Scores below 70 represent votes contrary to pro-business measures. These scores are shown in RED.

CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY GOvERNMENT Election carried out by Oklahoma County Election Board (405) 713-1515

Oklahoma City is governed by a council/manager system established by an amendment to the city charter in 1927. The charter, adopted in 1916, originally called for a commission form of government. The mayor and eight city council members are elected to four-year terms. In order to keep continuity within city government, half of the council is elected every two years. The city is divided into eight wards. The voters of each ward elect a council member to represent them, and the mayor is elected at large. The mayor and the council appoint a city manager to serve as the city’s chief

administrative official.

Primary elections are held the first Tuesday of March. The general election is held the first Tuesday of April. The filing period is neither more than 29 days nor less than 24 days before the primary election. Elections for the city wards are always held in odd-numbered years, while the mayoral election is held in an even-numbered year. Elections for 2010 and 2011 are as follows:
