One of the coolest things about living in a dystopian conservative laboratory like Oklahoma is that we – thanks to a GOP supermajority in all branches of government – get to be the first ones to experience ill-advised, ultra-right wing, culture war-inspired legislative experiments that create way more problems than they ever solve.
Sure, that may also suck, but at least we get to be first at something!
I was reminded of this yesterday when The Oklahoman reported that our state municipalities have paid $180-million in extra and very unnecessary expenses thanks to Oklahoma's Energy Discrimination Elimination Act.
