Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt will deliver his annual State of The State address from the Oklahoma Capitol on Monday ahead of the new legislative session that begins at noon.
According to Governor Stitt, in this year’s speech, he plans on putting a heavy emphasis on three main topics to reassure Oklahomans they are moving forward after an unprecedented and difficult year for everyone.
The topics include focusing on a balanced budget, a better grasp on the state’s healthcare system, and getting kids back into school as quickly as possible.
In the 2020 State of The State, his topics were similar as he pushed for a budget that put him in arguments with lawmakers and announced a possible smoother Soonercare system. Some Oklahoma lawmakers say they are looking forward to much better budget decisions this year and want to see the state prosper moving forward.
