TRANSCRIPT:
Dick Pryor: This is Capit0l Insider, your weekly look inside Oklahoma politics, policy and government. I'm Dick Pryor with eCapitol news director, Shawn Ashley. Our guest this week is State Representative Cyndi Munson, Democrat from District 85 in Oklahoma City. Representative Munson is House Minority Caucus chair. And thank you for joining us.
State Rep. Cyndi Munson: Thank you for having me.
Dick Pryor: There's just a little over a month left in the legislative session. How would you rate it so far?
State Rep. Cyndi Munson: (laughs) Good to know that there's only a month left. It feels like it's been a lot longer than that - this legislative session. I have mixed feelings about this session. We kind of talk about how every session feels like the most stressful and the worst that we've ever experienced. And I'll say what this session I think what's been most unique is trying to govern and do our business while still living through a pandemic. And then the topics that have come up and have been prioritized by our legislative leaders have been quite interesting. And I'm sure we'll dip into that a little bit more as we continue our conversation. So, with a month left, there's still work to do. We're constitutionally required to pass a balanced budget. That is the one thing we must do during a legislative session. And so there will certainly be more interesting conversations and work to be done here in the next few weeks.
