Representative Mary Fallin stood up against Oklahomans by opposing the Jobs bill voted on in DC. The bill will save the jobs of over 2,000 teachers in Oklahoma and provide additional assistance to pay for health care cost in our state. The bill received support from Republican and Democratic Governors, and was paid for in part by closing a tax loophole for multinational corporations that ship jobs overseas, and the Congressional Budget Office even estimates this bill will reduce the deficit.
Mary Fallin claims she is against spending, we now know that she is against spending money to keep hard working Oklahoman’s employed.
Last week Mary Fallin announced she opposed the jobs bill that would bring millions of our tax dollars home from Washington, D.C. Fallin said she would not return to Washington DC to fullfil her job commitments as a Congresswoman and would instead stay in Oklahoma to attend a high dollar fundraiser with insider lobbyists.
She then changed her mind and went to Washington to vote against the jobs bill, calling the bill’s efforts to save teachers’ jobs a “wasteful spending measure.”
Really Representative Fallin? Saving jobs of hard working Oklahomans is a “wasteful spending measure”?
If you can’t even do your job as a Congresswoman and fight for funds to come to Oklahoma, how do you expect to be able to lead the state?
If keeping Oklahomans employed is a “wasteful spending measure”, I wonder what else you will claim is waste and try to cut if elected. Maybe public safety? Maybe libraries Where does it end Mary?
It’s time for you to stop playing games with Oklahoman’s livelihoods.
