Oklahoma Senate pushes bill banning fetuses in food
Oklahoma State Senator Ralph Shortey proposed a bill to ban the use of aborted human fetuses in food ingredients. He cites online notes on embryonic stem cells, though FDA officials and abortion groups say they are not aware of such research or any Oklahoma firms pursuing it. Senator Brian Crain questions the urgency and notes no demonstrated threat to the food supply.

Rural districts weigh tax plan amid funding gap
School Board Chair Rosemary English questions the plan noting kinks and the need for state funding. The SCSBA proposal seeks about 600 million dollars in state support but provides no funding source. Price warns the plan could raise millage in many districts while rural counties with low millage may gain less. Hazen says higher taxes could hinder Aiken County’s growth despite potential gains in revenue per student.
