Happy Birthday Rep. Dorman!
I have to start my column off this week by thanking all those who have wished me a happy birthday. I turn 38 on September 18th and I have to say it’s been a great year.
We are seeing the the interim studies at the Capitol finally being scheduled. I have a study with several other legislators regarding autism coverage for children that will meet this week. This will look at possible solutions for assistance for families that are affected by autism and what can be done to help. We will have speakers discuss successes in other states, along with attempts that failed, and also bring in families who might have suggestions on changes in the law where assistance can be provided efficiently.
On Friday, I have my forum regarding alternative energy policies. I hope those of you interested in alternative energy sources and the possibility of the reduction of dependence on foreign oil will have the opportunity to make it up for this meeting. We have a great variety of guest speakers, ranging for the Oklahoma Secretary of Energy to businesses that have shifted to using CNG vehicles for their fleets. This should provide a great outlook on future trends and possible policies we can implement to help our nation. This will occur in the Senate Chamber in the Capitol from 9 AM to noon. Read more…

Representative Dorman, let me encourage you to make sure your talk regarding autism remains rooted in determining what is and is not the proper role of government. Do that, and I’m sure you’ll realize how ludicrous Nick’s Law is.

One would figure Butchey to weigh in with another misguided comment. Why don’t you attend the study and really learn something.
Let’s sitdown at the study and discuss this matter.
Enought of your hate and lack of compassion.
So much for this compassionate conservatism. What is so compassionate about turning your back on special needs children?
What is so conservative about forcing so many children onto the taxpayers for medical care?
Look forward to meeting you in person.

Butchey-too cowardly to use your real name and to actually discuss Nick’s Law with one of two people in this state that knows more about this law and the impact on the state than anyone.
Like I said before, “you can fix ignorance, you can’t fix stupid”
And Butchey, aka Insurance Lobbyist….I think your argument is getting pretty old, especially when you have no facts to back them up. Pathetic.

Just how is it conservative to force one man to bear another’s burdens? Just how is it conservative to have government encroach it’s ugly self even more into the private sector? Are you a true conservative, or a Clay Bennett/Ed Kelley/Aubrey McLendon wannabe?

Butchey
Enough of you and your heartless ways.
Need to start saving your money to pay for the massive tax increase that will be needed to pay for the lifetime care of these individuals.
I do want to thank you for that you have done for me. You will be paying for my retirement since I used 20+ years of it paying for my son’s therapies, you will have to pay for my health care since I will have to stop paying my insurance premiums.
So narrowly focused on yourself. I would rather have taken care of my own family and enjoying the fruits of my labor but I am glad that you are going to take care of that for me.

Not at all, pal. Just focused on keeping hte mighty river of government within it’s banks. I didn’t take you or your kid on to raise, and the fact that you presumptiously expect me to do either is unconscionable to anyone with any integrity.

And that’s not hate speech just because you disagree with it. It’s simply the cold, hard truth.
