Oil and Gas Association is throwing a party for Oklahoma lawmakers…

The State House GOP finally got around to releasing a budget yesterday, and as expected, it didn't receive any Democratic support and failed. As a result, expect a special session of the legislature to try to resolve the budget.

The problem Democrats had with the House budget was that just like the plans offered by the Senate and Mary Fallin, the proposal didn't raise the crazy-low gross production tax on oil and gas, something that everyone who's not in the pockets of the energy industry thinks needs to happen.
