Gotta love these Republican Governors, I guess they don't sign the same deal about no new taxes as their big brothers in DC do... Wonder why the tea baggers aren't all up in arms about this? Did Fox news forget to mention it and tell them to be outraged?  |
OK so let's take a look at this.

The bill, known as S.B. 1456

Now here is a little information that seems to have been left out of the OP
http://openstates.org/ok/bills/2013-2014/SB1456/
One of the co-authors of the bill is... a democrat

which sailed to passage on a near unanimous vote after no debate

Passed unanimously by the Senate
http://openstates.org/ok/votes/OKV00010301/
look at all those democrats voting yes.
Not quite so unanimous in the House, 5 democrats actually voted against it
http://openstates.org/ok/votes/OKV00010662/
but the rest of the democrats voted for it
So it seems to me that it's a pretty bi-partisan bill, but since it will be signed into law by an evil republican governer I guess those facts are irrelevant.
My Conclusion:
Get over the partisanship, vote them ALL out.
