Oklahoma Legislature Sees Two New Laws Passed
In seven weeks of the 26th Oklahoma Legislature, two new laws have been enacted and signed by Gov. Raymond Gary. The wage stabilization act sets a $160 monthly minimum for state workers and 24 pay classifications, with phased July 1 start dates. A second measure earmarks 78 percent of the gross production tax on natural gas to fund the teacher retirement system, aiming to shore up a $32 million fund currently short about eight million for actuarial soundness.

Rain Helps Wheat But More Needed For Area Crops
Local farm experts say this week’s rain aided wheat but not enough to affect cotton planting. Subsurface soil remains dry, requiring four to six inches of penetrating rain or a series of light showers over several weeks to build moisture.
