Despite Pandemic, Oklahoma Lawmakers Are Still Getting A 35% Pay Raise

Back in the fall, a group of political cronies appointed by lawmakers voted to give Oklahoma lawmakers an astronomical, and completely undeserved, 35-percent pay raise.

Now that our state, like the rest of the country, is facing an astronomical economic hurdle due to the pandemic, you'd logically think that pay raise would be postponed, reneged or at least saved for more deserving people, like the tens of thousands of Oklahomans who have yet to receive their unemployment checks.
