| Dear Editor and the
Citizens of District 11
Thank you for the
honor of serving you in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. As Americans
and as Oklahomans we are truly blessed to have a system of government
in which citizens are able to elect their leaders at the ballot box
and hold them accountable every election year.
On Friday, May 25,
Oklahoma's House of Representatives wrapped up the year's legislative
session. When we look back on this session, I believe we will see it
as a positive one that benefited Oklahomans of all walks of life.
We crafted a solution
for the state's cash-strapped teacher retirement system, and we made
it easier for students to obtain a college degree. We passed new provisions
to protect Oklahomans from dangerous offenders. Perhaps most significantly,
we championed fiscal responsibility by passing a state budget that actually
cuts the size of state government, restrains future government growth,
and encourages state agencies to serve the public more efficiently.
The people's business was completed in a timely fashion by not dragging
things out into a costly special session.
Your direct input,
which I appreciate greatly, allows me to take the voices of District
11 to the Capitol. The job of lawmaking is not one that I take lightly,
and I am grateful each and every day for the opportunity to serve you.
Working together, we can carry Oklahoma towards her next centennial
celebration as one of the top states in the nation for education, economy,
family values, and government accountability.
I am now back in
the district and look forward to visiting with you. Please know that
you are welcome to contact me anytime. My home phone number is 918-336-4855
or you can contact me at my e-mail address esears4rep@cableone.net.
Sincerely,
Earl Sears
State Representative District 11
