into a trust fund and spend only
the interest," Ferguson noted.
Edmondson and Butkin are
potential candidates for
Oklahoma governor in 2002.
according to Ferguson. "Maybe
there is a hidden motive in this
savings plan," he said. “Perhaps
they feel the next governor
should get to be the big
spender."
An education measure enacted
last year. House Bill 1759. con-
tained charter schools and open
transfer Issues, which are a
couple of very strong
Republican ideas. Ferguson
stressed. The bill was co-
authored by Democrat House
Speaker Loyd Benson and
Democrat Senate President Pro
Tempore Stratton Taylor.
"The main reason Republicans
favored charter schools is
because it exempts most regula-
tions and allows teachers more
freedom on how to teach stu-
dents. The same bill contains
the most restrictive student
graduation requirements ever
imposed. That seems anti-
Republican. but most
Republican legislators support-
ed the bill," Ferguson said.
"I remember when one could
read the contents of a bill and
would be able to tell if the bill
was drafted by a Republican or
a Democrat," he said. "Now it
appears elected politicians are
crossing lines and are uttering
the rhetoric of the other party.”
Ferguson said he hopes the
elimination of the Y2K fears and
expectations will return
Oklahoma lawmakers to "the
right way of thinking" for impor-
tant decision-making in the
future. The 2000 session is
scheduled to start on Feb. 7.

Over the years in past legisla-
ture. Representative Roach may
have burned some bridges
behind him by squabbling with
rural Democ rats on a variety of
issues. Now he is seeking sup-
port from the same Democrats
who live outside of metropolitan
Oklahoma, Ferguson noted.
He said Democrats have
attempted to portray themselves
as advocates of the working
class and the disadvantaged.
"But I don't think Roach's pro-
posed fiat tax license tag bill is
geared toward saving money for
Oklahoma's working - lass citi-
zen. at least not in rural
Oklahoma," he said.
In addition, Ferguson said, the
Tulsa Democrat would propose
a huge increase for large trucks.
"That might be acceptable for
large trucking corporations, but
it would devastate the small
independent trucking firms."
Ferguson said. "That type of leg-
islation could lead to large
true king corporations absorbing
smaller true king ' ompanies."
Ferguson, who grew up in the
political circle, said his head is
still reeling from the tug of war
ovet th*- federal tobacco settle-
ment funds owed to the state.
"Gov. Frank Keating has offered
numerous ideas how to use the
tobacco settlement funds." he
said.
“Many Republicans generally
feel Governor Keating's theory-
on tobacco settiement spending
is a Democratic Halt of frying tc
spend every penny we have."
according to Ferguson.
“And then we hear Oklahoma
Attorney General Drew
Edmondson and state Treasurer
Robert Butkin proposing to
place tobacco settlement money
