Earlier this week, while Oklahoma continues to deal with an extraordinary budget crisis that has led to drastic funding cuts to essential and core government services, the Department of Corrections announced it's giving each one of its 3,965 employees a one-time stipend of $1,750. For those scoring at home, that's exactly $1,750 more than the stipend the Department of Education recently doled out to all Oklahoma teachers.
