10 OneVoice Legislative Agenda State Priorites One Voice Legislative Agenda State Priorities Support the building of the Gilcrease Expressway and Bridge through any funding mechanism available in order to expedite this long overdue transportation system; a partnership with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority may be beneficial. The original expressway master plan for the Tulsa region included the Gilcrease Expressway, which is the only remaining uncompleted portion of the planned system s outer loop on the west side. It is important to complete this leg of the expressway system to provide needed access, to support growth, improve connections for manufacturing, relieve traffic capacity and congestion problems, and to improve public safety for the region. Getting the expressway on the state highway system or getting authorization for an analysis by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is of primary importance. We must also secure funds to build a bridge across the Arkansas River, for which local funds are being secured to complete a traffic and revenue study. Support services to the uninsured through continued funding for the OSU Medical Center and $7 million annually to OU s Tisdale Health Center Support a legislative interim study on municipal finance and efforts to expand municipalities ability to use new sources of revenue to fund local government; and pass no unfunded mandates. Oklahoma is one of only 17 states that provide only one source of municipal revenue, through sales tax. This leaves municipalities budgets subject to large fluctuations based on the economy. The consequence of this is a focus by cities on growing retail sales often to the detriment of other economic development initiatives. Cities need access to other resources to balance their revenue streams and to protect them from major shifts. Oklahoma s municipal funding model is archaic and does not serve the state s long-term interests. Defend existing road funding against any diversion of monies and monitor the increased funding for roads, bridges, maintenance and construction and oppose State Question 744, the Helping Oklahoma Public Education initiative, which would require drastic budget cuts to other state services unless there is a large tax increase. Last year the Legislature made a commitment to support operations at the OSU Medical Center with $5 million each year for five years; this will be the second year. OU s Tisdale Health Center is expected to open late in FY 2011, and will require operational support to fulfill its intended purpose, as outlined in the Lewin Report, to provide specialist and diagnostic screening services to the uninsured and underinsured. This clinic will meet a need in the community while also relieving demand on area emergency rooms. We must monitor legislators support for OSU Medical Center funding, and educate legislators on the importance of funding the OU Tisdale Health Center. SQ 744 poses a substantial threat to finite state revenues and the integrity of the legislative appropriations process. This state question would constitutionally mandate a shift of approximately $850 million to common education without an identified source of funding to pay for it. While the Chamber strongly supports the need for a high-quality education system in Oklahoma, without a substantial tax increase SQ 744 may result in catastrophic budget cuts to transportation, corrections, health care, social services, higher education and many other essential state government services. page 8 Tulsa Chamber Political Directory

11 5. Support measures to competitively position Oklahoma schools and colleges to receive Race to the Top Funds, including removing barriers to charters state-wide and restrictive state policies and promoting teacher effectiveness, such as Oklahoma s concurrent enrollment policy that allows only high achieving students to participate in the opportunity. Race to the Top is a significant new avenue of federal funding for K-12 schools that will be awarded on a competitive basis to states. Both Tulsa and Oklahoma City schools are actively working with the State Department of Education to prepare Oklahoma s application. To meet the minimum criteria for the funds, Oklahoma must show evidence that our state system supports innovative solutions to raising achievement levels and increasing the graduation rate. Those key issues include support for charter schools, performance based pay systems and programs to encourage high school students to easily transition to postsecondary programs. This legislation needs to be passed early in the session in order for Oklahoma to meet federal guidelines. 8. Support ways to leverage and maximize federal funding of reimbursement programs such as Insure Oklahoma, State Childrens Health Insurance Program, Medicaid, Upper Payment Limit, Disproportionate Share Hospital and Graduate Medical Education. Oklahoma has not provided sufficient state funds to secure all the federal health care funds allocated to the state; last year $250 million was left on the table. Given the state s budget situation, close attention needs to be given to other sources of funding for the state to increase the match to secure higher levels of federal funding. Possible solutions might be a small fee on providers to secure more SCHIP, DSH and UPL funding from the federal government, which provides nearly a 2:1 match. Tobacco revenue has funded Insure Oklahoma; that source is nearly tapped out. One solution is to assess a small fee on claims paid to raise sufficient money to continue expanding the program. Oklahoma s high rate of uninsured places huge demands on our safety net providers; securing more federal funding would greatly alleviate this problem. OneVoice Legislative Agenda State Priorites 6. Support reform of the Oklahoma Workers Compensation system to promote workplace safety and provide an efficient, cost effective system which lowers administrative and legal costs to employers and increases benefits to injured workers to help them recover from workplace injuries and timely return to work. Oklahoma s workers compensation system is causing severe devastation among small and large businesses throughout the state. Employers need a balanced, fair and effective workers compensation process that resolves claims and helps the injured worker return to work. Reform measures should include Senate confirmation on any workers compensation judge appointed by the governor; a provision that lowers the cost of workers compensation for Oklahoma employers; a system that allows for expedient and fair resolution of claims; exclusive remedy and protection for medical providers from district court actions or opinions rendered under workers compensation laws; and ensure that workers compensation is the exclusive remedy for any job-related injury or illness. 9. Support development of renewable and alternative energy source development, such as LNG, CNG, biofuels, nuclear, ethanol, wind power, solar and others, in addition to encouraging continued development of conventional energy sources. As the alternative energy industry grows and refines the available technology, the cost of renewable energy will decrease and alternative power generators will become capable of supplying more power from less wind or sun, making them more reliable as a year round power source. Over time, as fossil fuel resources become scarcer and environmental regulations become stricter, the cost of utilitysupplied electricity and fuel oil will increase. Alternative power sources present themselves as one sensible source of electrical power for residential, remote and utility-level power generation. Oklahoma has much expertise, and many skilled workers, in the energy industry. Preparing for the growth of alternative sources will allow us to tap into that expertise and remain a national leader in the energy industry. 7. Support the Quality Events Incentive Act. In order for Oklahoma to become an attractive destination site for quality events, we need to do more that will allow Oklahoma to be competitive in the area of recruiting major events. The Oklahoma tourism industry generates $5.3 billion annually and that number can grow if communities have the financial ability to bid on nationally appealing conventions, shows and events with competing states like Texas and Arkansas. Incorporating a Quality Events Incentive is a logical way to bring money back into the state through increased sales tax revenue and can put Oklahoma on a level playing field for tourism, hospitality and convention business. 10. Support the establishment of economic development zones and TIF districts along the Arkansas River to create small business opportunities to spur economic development. Regional leaders strongly support additional development along the river to leverage the river s potential to add to the region s prosperity and quality of life. Tools such as economic development zones and TIFs provide incentives for that growth and should be actively pursued. Tulsa Chamber Political Directory page 9

12 OneVoice Legislative Agenda federal Priorites One Voice Legislative Agenda Federal Priorities 1. Support timely reauthorization of the federal surface transportation programs, including funding for high priority projects: reconstruction of the I-244 bridges over the Arkansas River, reconstruction of I-244, widening of I-44 east to the Will Rogers Turnpike and reconstruction to six lanes of US 169 north to SH 20. A well-maintained infrastructure is important for regional economic development. Reauthorization of federal surface transportation legislation is critical so that funds may be spent on high priority projects for the northeastern Oklahoma region in order to keep traffic and freight moving safely and efficiently through our region. The priority projects on the state s list represent significant delayed maintenance/rehabilitation or congestion challenges Support Sen. Jim Inhofe s request for funding for implementation of the Arkansas River corridor master plan. Continue to advocate for appropriations at the federal level to match local, state and private funding for river infrastructure. Authorization of $50 million for such funding was secured in the 2008 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). The project is in the planning phase, so the first round of appropriations is needed for the planning and engineering, followed by full construction. Secure $16 million in emergency federal funding to address currently identified deficiencies with the Arkansas River levee (west Tulsa/Sand Springs) and bring the levee into compliance with Corps of Engineer standards. The Sand Springs Levee District 12 requires $16 to $20 million to upgrade and repair the levee system to comply with new Corps of Engineers standards. This is a critical need; if these improvements are not implemented in the near future, the Corps of Engineers will be obligated to de-certify this levee which will have a significant adverse financial impact to the area. The funding requested will be used to perform thorough investigations of the levee system, design of needed improvements, and construct improvements. The proposed improvements will allow the levee system to continue to provide protection and security from flood damage for thousands of local residents and businesses Oppose the Employee Free Choice Act. The Employee Free Choice Act or Card Check strips workers of their right to a secret ballot and increases intimidation and pressure by union organizers. This measure subverts the democratic protection of private ballots in union organizing elections. By forcing workers to sign a card in public, instead of voting in private, this Act opens the door to intimidation and coercion. No business should have its business plan subject to the will of a union or the federal government. Support appropriations to deepen the McClellan- Kerr waterway to 12 and to widen the last 50 miles to the Port of Catoosa. The McClellan-Kerr was authorized by Congress to provide a 12 foot deep navigation channel along the entire length of the 445 mile long system from the Mississippi River to the Tulsa Port of Catoosa. Deepening the remaining 10 percent of the port will cost an estimated $165 million. Support for this project, which will increase productivity of the McClellan-Kerr by 30 percent, is critical to the region. We must also complete widening of the McClellan-Kerr from Muskogee to the Port of Catoosa, increasing the width from 150 feet to 300 feet, to enable two eight barge tows to pass one another thereby eliminating costly delays. Secure public funding for hospital services, urgent care, outpatient and specialty care services, page 10 Tulsa Chamber Political Directory

13 7. Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers and graduate medical education at Tulsa-based medical schools to ensure access to care for the underserved patient population, which relies on the Tulsa health care network for services. Oklahoma is one of several states in the low Disproportionate Share category for that section of Medicaid money. This unfairly penalizes poorer states, which were unable to maximize their state match nearly a decade ago and remain artificially limited. Other states have left DSH money untapped. Federal legislation is pending that will allow low DSH states to tap that unused reserve. Oklahoma ranks at the bottom in numbers of physicians per capita and for too many residents that means drastically reduced life spans. Oklahoma must take aggressive action to secure more DSH funds, funds to expand FQHCs and funds to expand graduate medical education. Support development of an intermodal truck/rail freight transportation facility linking the port and airport with truck /rail service. Infrastructure must be developed that supports our inland port, the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, if the region is to compete in a global economy. We must link the port s international shipping and Class I railroad capability to the internal railway system including establishment of a site for freight handling and storage, relocation and addition of rail lines to service both Tulsa International Airport as well as the port. We must also add freight service points at the airport to facilitate movement of freight to the intermodal site, and make changes to underpasses along the non-interstate highways for large freight shipments. Tulsa area providers are required under federal law to implement electronic medical records before 2015 or pay penalties. Early adoption of these requirements could result in bonus eligibility beginning next year. There is federal stimulus funding available to support local networks and capacity building that will ensure that our health care providers meet federal guidelines and deadlines. Implementing these requirements will result in lower costs and an improvement in the quality of care for the entire community. 10. Strengthen existing energy businesses through legislation and educational outreach that promote exploration and production of oil and gas in the U.S. Support legislation and educational outreach programs that strengthen existing energy businesses and promote exploration and production of oil and gas in the United States. We need the state, Congress and administration to encourage our existing energy businesses to take risks and add jobs in the United States; these businesses are vital for the success of our economy as we develop renewable and alternative energy sources in the years ahead. Existing energy businesses are essential to fill the gap for the next 20 years until new energy sources are secured. OneVoice Legislative Agenda federal Priorites 8. Support comprehensive implementation of the American Graduation Initiative to increase the number of community college graduates. Increasing the number of college graduates in Tulsa and throughout the state will increase per capita income, add to communities and the state s prosperity and to the state s attractiveness for economic development and a skilled workforce. State institutions are vying for this competitive funding to build capacity to educate more students. Oklahoma has a fine network of community colleges ready to take advantage of this additional support. 9. Maximize federal Health Information Technology funding and available stimulus funding for the Tulsa region for health information technologies, health information exchange and health information management organized as a Tulsa regional consortium. Tulsa Chamber Political Directory page 11

14 Tulsa Metro Chamber priorities for 2010 Tulsa Metro Chamber Priorities for 2010 State: Support Workforce Incentives Support the expansion of HB 3239 to include more demand occupations for the following industries: biotechnology, health care, advanced manufacturing and energy. The success of Oklahoma s business retention and expansion initiatives is dependent on providing a bountiful workforce in skilled occupations. The growth of openings in demand occupations coupled with declining graduation rates in technical degree programs and the impending retirement of baby boomers creates a critical need to be proactive in creating Oklahoma s competitive advantage. We must identify ways to retain and attract skilled workers and provide additional training for our underemployed workforce to secure our state s economic success. Support a State Deal-Closing Fund Support the establishment of an economic development program funded by annual state appropriations to create a project or deal closing fund to attract, grow and retain businesses in Oklahoma. Oklahoma suffers from the inability to secure major economic development projects in the state due to constitutional conflicts surrounding the Opportunity Fund or deal-closing fund. As soon as the governance issues are resolved, a permanent funding source should be identified to attract business and significantly increase workforce population and economic development. Creating access to this fund allows our state to be more strategic and leverage the existing infrastructure of regions and cities. The Opportunity Fund has not been replenished, which therefore creates an inequity for Oklahoma when competing with other states in recruiting new, and maintaining existing, business. Support Teacher Compensation Reform Study, authorize and fund pilot compensation reform initiatives to enhance teacher effectiveness Rail Funding xx Secure funding to extend the sealed railroad corridor (quiet zone) east from downtown to Peoria. xx Support legislation to authorize the study by OTA of the feasibility of rail transit between Tulsa and Oklahoma City and within the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas. Establishing a quiet zone downtown is a priority to maximize opportunities for economic development downtown, including the attraction of retail and residential development. A study of the feasibility of rail transit between Oklahoma s two urban centers is necessary to determine how and when to move forward on linking the cities. Support a reasonable Congressional Reapportionment in Northeastern Oklahoma Support reapportionment of congressional districts which gives the Tulsa region the strongest representation at the federal level. The decennial census takes place in 2010 and plans for the 2011 reapportionment process by the legislature are already underway. It is expected that as the urban areas grow, districts will require some adjustment to absorb more of the metro areas. Tulsa needs to monitor the process to ensure that our representation is maximized. Tulsa Public Schools has announced an ambitious plan to reform employee evaluations that ties compensation to measurable goals and could significantly increase teacher salaries. There are some legislative changes that must be made in order for TPS to move ahead with this plan. In addition, since TPS designed this plan with the support of nationally recognized consultants, it could become a pilot for the state and lead to duplication by other districts if successful. State funding to support the pilot would speed implementation. 6. Support measures to ensure the Tulsa region avoids non-attainment status. Develop and support enabling legislation to establish proactive measures that will reduce ozone emissions in the Tulsa region to avoid federal non-attainment status. Federal standards are expected to be reduced in 2010, which would probably result in Tulsa being labeled non-attainment status, which could negatively impact economic growth. Urban page 12 Tulsa Chamber Political Directory

15 7. areas may need enabling legislation that will allow them to control and reduce emissions differently than less populated areas. Support establishment of the Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture. Support a one-time appropriation for the construction of a new history museum in Tulsa called the Oklahoma Museum of Popular Culture. The Oklahoma Historical Society is proposing the creation of a new 45,000-square-foot museum of music and popular culture to be located in Tulsa s Brady Village District. The Oklahoma Pop museum will feature music and popular culture created, influenced and enjoyed by Oklahomans. The museum will fuel economic development in Tulsa and its surrounding communities by attracting visitors from other parts of the state and country. Federal: 1. Support the relocation of the Page Belcher Federal Courthouse Support the relocation of the Page Belcher Federal Building currently located in downtown Tulsa. The federal courthouse was built before current security standards were in place and has numerous challenges. In addition, the U.S. 2. Post Office has moved the sorting process to another location, leaving much of the postal area unused and unsecure. The current location, near the Convention Center and the BOK Center, is desirable for additional convention hotel and retail development. Moving the courthouse would provide the federal judiciary with a more secure, modern facility and allow the U.S. Post Office a more appropriately-sized facility downtown. Support measures to ensure the Tulsa region avoids non-attainment status. xx Support the adoption of a more reasonable time frame for the implementation of the new more stringent federal ozone emission standard. xx Seek federal funding for the development of a Tulsa region air shed model that will assist in the evaluation of air quality policy alternatives. Tulsa will be in non-attainment when the federal standards are reduced. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has delayed the implementation of the new standards in the past and further delays would be helpful. In addition, in order to better manage regional responses to meet the standards, an air shed model is needed to tie possible emission control measures to expected results for evaluation and decision-making.
