Lucas speaks out
on major issues
Old-fashion travel...
By Juoy Lambert
Herald Assistant Editor
Thursday afternoon in an
interview with the Herald,
Congressman Frank Lucas
addressed issues of health care,
the present economy and possi-
bility of a second stimulus pack-
age. and the controversial
Waxman-Markev energy bill,
which passed in the hou«e
“The National Health Care
Proposal is the single highest pri-
ority in the Obama administra-
tion," Lucas said. "They're going
to put a lot of effort into this."
Senator Kennedy’s
Massachusets bill is being used
as a model. Lucas said.
“It appears the attitude has been to put the bill to
regular order (which will take some time)."
Lucas explained that those over 65 have Medicare;
those below a certain income level have Medicaid;
those working for the government (national or state
level) have their health insurance covered, as those
who work for a large company or corporation, or are
financailly able to purchase their own insurance.
“But the folks who don’t fall in any of those cate-
gories are not covered," Lucas said. "That’s the goal
of the bill."
The proposed cost of the health care plan is right
around $1.5 trillion.
“It looks like the question that's being battled over
is ‘how will the coverage be delivered,”’ the con-
^TTrc^OpHons discussed Include a Medicald-type
coverage, where the federal government pays the
state and the state decides what kind of provider gives
the sen ices, and Medicare-type coverage where
essentially the government runs
the program?
“Which way do we go." Lucas
said. “The more liberal members
in congress seem to be demanding
a public delivery option. The
more conservative seem to be
demanding something more along
the lines of Medicaid where it's
not delivered as a public option."
he said. “That's got to be sorted
out.”
Lucas said in the town meet-
ings he has, he notices people say
they like their hospitals and their
doctors, “but in the same breath
they'll tell you, depending where
they’re at... it costs too much."
He also noticed that in the
more rural areas the problem is
often accessibility. "We can’t get tc the kind of doc-
tors we need. We can’t get to the kind of equipment
we need."
“We do have good health care, if you have access
to it, in this country,” Lucas said. "I want to make
sure we don't undo the good things we've done (with
health care).”
He said the legislation process will most likely
continue on over into the spring of 2010.
In discussing the $789.5 billion stimulus package
(and a promise to provide jobs and decrease unem-
ployment) in February of this year, Lucas said that
unemployment is still on the rise.There were 467,000
jobs lost in the month of June alone resulting in a 9.5
percent unemployment rate in the United States. This
bntigi up a question all across the country. Sphere

From Staff Reports
OKLAHOMA CITY. Jui, 9,2009 - Nearly $20 million in funding
from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), better
known as the Federal Stimulus Plan has now been earmarked for con-
servation projects in Oklahoma, projects such as Hood control dam
repair water quality protection and wildlife habitat improvement
according to Trey Urn. President of the Oklahoma Association of
Conservation Districts (OACD).
"We are extremely excited that these funds have come to
Oklahoma." Urn Said. "Clearly the need is there and these dollars
will definitely help address critical issues in our state."
According to Lam. the dollars to be received by conservation in
Oklahoma are for a laundry list of natural resource issues ranging
from flood control dam repair to developing new market based
approaches to incentivize conservation work. Projects approved for
stimulus funding include;
•Over $14 million for rehabilitation of upstream flood control
dams;
•Nearly $2 million for watershed operations and new dam con-
*$2 million for non-point source pollution protection through the
Water Resources Board safe drinking water revolving fund;
* $1 million for poultry litter processing;
•$308,000 for developing a carbon credit market in Oklahoma
from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and the Federal
Department of Energy ; ,
*$100,000 for control bums to help reduce invasive species such
as cedar trees from the Federal Fish and Wildlife service.
"These dollars represent a huge investment in conservation across
Oklahoma,” Urn said. "These funds will help local conservation dis-
tricts. our Federal partners at the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) and our State partners at the Oklahoma Conservation
Commission assist farmers, ranchers and other landowners to protect
our soil, water, air and wildlife habitats."
According to Clay Pope, Executive Director of OACD, these
funds will not only help protect the environment, but also help stim-
ulate economic activity in Rural Oklahoma
"These new dollars for conservation will not only give our natural
resource work a shot in the arm, but it will also mean more dollars
