Statement From Senator Ron Justice On Funding For The Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP)

“Rural Oklahoma has a tremendous impact on our state and nation. We are a state full of hardworking families who take pride in Oklahoma values.

“As a rural member of the Senate, I along with many of my fellow colleagues stood together in fighting for REAP funding. We knew that in order to protect rural Oklahoma and continue moving our state forward, REAP needed to be a vital aspect of the budget.

“The Governor, Pro Tempore and Speaker have worked tirelessly to craft a budget in a bipartisan fashion that meets the states needs and I commend them for their efforts.”

Senator Ron Justice is chairman of the Senate Republican Rural Caucus.
