MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
DAVID RAINBOLT Chair, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber
BancFirst Corporation
The dramatic fall of oil and gas prices and subsequent decline of state revenues has created a tremendous challenge for the 2016 legislative session. In Oklahoma, one of every four dollars in our state’s budget is derived in some way from the energy industry and the legislature will have $900 million less to work with as they build the state budget.
At the same time, we are seeing the fruits of our efforts over the last 30 years to diversify the state’s economy. Unlike previous energy downturns, our unemployment rate remains low and we are seeing job growth in unrelated sectors. The pro-business policies put in place – including our performance-based incentive programs – can be credited for this success.
In this time of budget crisis, it is vital that we don’t tie the hands of economic development which will further diversify Oklahoma’s economy and spur additional growth. We agree all incentives should justify themselves by demonstrating tangible return on investment through periodic review. The Pew Incentive Evaluation model, approved by the legislature last year, is a data-driven process to regularly evaluate incentives. It should be supported and implemented. However, indiscriminate repeal or draconian downsizing of economic development incentives would be a short-sighted decision that could negatively impact our future.
A bright spot in our economy is the continued growth of the hospitality industry. Travelers to our market for events and conventions bring billions of dollars to our economy each year and last session, SB41, a bill that would have forced event producers to allow spectators to bring guns to public venues would have violated contractual terms of some of our largest and most lucrative events. Ensuring our ability to attract these events, while at the same time, protecting 2nd Amendment rights is a balance we must strike.
Another opportunity for efficiency in government lies in the reform of our criminal justice systems. While we seriously evaluate changes at the county level that impact incarceration, similar efforts at the state level could ease the financial drain of the prison system and allow nonviolent offenders to return to productivity more quickly. A better process is needed in our state and county.
We also eagerly anticipate the adoption of the new Oklahoma Academic Standards and a statewide assessment system. Setting goals for our students, and measuring the success of our system in helping them is essential for our children’s future and to the development of our future workforce.
Although we must face the challenges at hand, we must still plan for the future. Our state has experienced downturns in the past and, through experience, we know we must rely on resilience and creativity to create capital efficiency that will continue to grow our state’s economy. I look forward to working with our members and our elected leaders in this effort. It has never been more important.

Be a Grassroots Advocate for BusinessThe Chamber knows achieving success on the key issues facing your business is a team effort. Therefore, we have developed multiple ways for you to stay informed and make your voice heard.
One way is to participate as a grassroots advocate. The Chamber recently launched a robust grassroots program
designed to multiply and amplify the voices of the business community at the State Capitol. We are working to identify
grassroots advocates by sending out a survey that will help us leverage your relationships and experience on behalf of the Chamber. One immediate way you can help is to complete the survey at www.okcchamber.com/grassroots and be ready to be contacted by our government relations team and communicate with your elected officials on major economic development issues.
Business Advocacy Center The Chamber’s Business Advocacy Center, www.OKCBusinessAdvocate.com, makes having a voice at the Capitol simple. With just a few simple clicks, you can identify your elected officials and communicate with them, ensuring you have an impact on the decisions of our state’s leaders. You can also stay up-to-date during the legislative session by signing up for The Business Advocate, the Chamber’s newsletter solely focused on what’s happening at the Capitol during the legislative session. Together, we can build a stronger business climate for Greater Oklahoma City.
Contact the Government Relations Team Throughout the year, the Chamber’s team works to ensure that Greater Oklahoma City is moving forward and growing stronger. From promoting pro-business policies at the Capitol to economic development, the Chamber is the voice of business in Greater Oklahoma City. The Chamber staff is always available to assist your business in any way possible.

MEMORANDUM
RE: Greater Oklahoma City Chamber PAC
In 2010, the Chamber became more aggressive in electing officials who would support our legislative priorities. By unanimous vote, our board established the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber Political Action Committee. In voting to create the PAC, all board members agreed to contribute at least $500 annually to sustain it.
The PAC’s first year was outstanding. Of the 22 candidates receiving contributions, 21 were elected and now serve our state by supporting issues and legislation that will advance the economic development of the Greater Oklahoma City area.
The 2011 legislative session, which just ended several weeks ago, resulted in the passage of most all of the Chamber’s legislative priorities, including: • A total rewrite of the state’s workers’ compensation statutes • Enactment of five key pieces of tort reform legislation, including a $350,000 cap on non-economic damages and the elimination of joint and several liability • Prevention of Arizona-style immigration reform in Oklahoma • Protection of all 16 key economic development incentives identified by the Chamber, including reinstatement of the Aerospace Engineer Tax Credit • Protection of Oklahoma’s thriving biosciences industry, including retaining the EDGE fund and preventing the criminalization of certain types of medical research • Enactment of a hospital provider fee to access federal funds, keep doctors from leaving the state, and ensure high quality health care is provided to more Oklahomans • Passage of major educational reform including the end of trial de novo, which will allow underperforming teachers to be replaced at a significantly reduced cost
Enclosed you will find a list of candidates the PAC supported last year and a Contributor Statement which must be completed and returned with your 2011 contribution. Under state law, contributions to the PAC cannot be made with corporate funds. However, an LLC which has no corporate members, may contribute to a PAC.
Please consider making your contribution today.
Sincerely,
Carl Edwards Brad KriegerChairman, Greater OKC Chamber Chairman, Greater OKC Chamber PAC
A Unified Voice for Oklahoma City’s Businesses One of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s primary goals is to improve Oklahoma’s business climate and foster economic growth. To further the goals of the Greater Oklahoma City business community, the Greater OKC Chamber Political Action Committee was formed to aggressively pursue the election and re-election of candidates who take a stand for Oklahoma City’s key business issues. Since 2010, the Greater OKC Chamber PAC has strengthened the Chamber’s ability to advocate on behalf of the Oklahoma City business community. Since its creation, the Greater OKC Chamber PAC has contributed $239,850 to help elect pro-business candidates.
The Greater OKC Chamber PAC is gearing up for the 2016 election year, and has raised a record amount of $62,000 in 2015. The PAC will need to raise a similar amount in 2016 to impact legislative races within the metro and across Oklahoma. The PAC contributed a total of $101,100 to pro-
business candidates competing in the 2014 primary, primary runoff and general elections. During the 2013-14 election cycle the Greater OKC Chamber PAC made 83 contributions to candidates in statewide, state legislative and local races. Of these 83 contributions, 74 were made to successful candidates, giving the Chamber PAC an impressive overall winning percentage of 89 percent. This success rate demonstrates the strong influence the Chamber PAC has in electing candidates across the state who will support the Chamber’s agenda.
The Greater OKC Chamber PAC’s unified voice has a proven track record in making a substantial impact on the political future of Oklahoma City. It exists to allow every business the chance to voice its support for pro-business candidates. You can be a part of this effort – make a contribution to help the Chamber ensure a stronger economic climate by helping elect candidates who will support economic development, workers’ compensation reform and transportation/infrastructure funding.

2016
GOVERNMENT OKC CHAMBER PRIORITIES
STATE ISSUES
Workers’ Comp Reform The Chamber supports defending and improving the comprehensive workers’ compensation reform legislation passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Mary Fallin during the 2013 session.
Economic Development Programs The Chamber supports retaining the state’s premier economic/community development programs, which are critical in attracting new businesses to the state, assisting existing companies expand and encouraging investment in communities across the state. Following are the key programs the Chamber will work to protect: • Quality Jobs Act, 21st Century QJA, Small Employer QJA and the Prime Contractor QJA • Aerospace Engineer Tax Credit • Investment/New Jobs Tax Credit • Historical Building Rehabilitation Tax Credit • Freeport (Inventory) Exemption • Five-year ad valorem abatement and sales tax exemption for manufacturing facilities There are a number of other programs the Chamber believes should be retained that relate to specific industries or are designed to generate economic development. Those programs include: Oklahoma Quality Events Act, Sales Tax Exemption & Refund for Aircraft Repairs, Exemption & Refund for Aircraft Maintenance/Manufacturing, Excise Tax Exemption on Aircraft Sales, Oklahoma Film Enhancement Rebate Program, Tax
Credit for Energy Efficient Residential Housing and the state employee payroll deduction program for charitable contributions.
Gun Legislation The Chamber supports Gov. Fallin’s veto of Senate Bill 41, legislation that would have allowed open/concealed carry of guns into high-economic impact events, such as horse shows, NCAA and Big XII sporting events (including the Women’s College World Series, college baseball
at the Bricktown Ballpark, NCAA and big basketball tournaments at Chesapeake Energy Arena), Olympic qualifying events on the Oklahoma River, high school state basketball tournaments at the State Fairgrounds, the Oklahoma State Fair and concerts and festivals held at parks, fairgrounds and recreational areas.
The Chamber will work with the National Rifle Association, the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association and other stakeholders to pass legislation to improve and clarify existing gun laws while, at the same time, protecting the above events, many of which are contractually obligated to prohibit weapons from being carried onto the premises during the event.
Oklahoma Beer and Liquor Laws The Chamber supports efforts to comprehensively modernize and simplify Oklahoma’s beer and liquor laws to encourage economic development and job growth, better meet consumer needs, create a competitive marketplace for Oklahoma’s businesses and eliminate confusion about beer strengths by moving to a single-strength model. Specific reforms supported by the Chamber are: 1) Single-strength beer sold statewide in liquor, grocery and convenience stores; 2) Wine sold statewide in select grocery and convenience stores; and, 3) items other than alcohol sold at retail package stores.
6 | 2016 Public Policy Guide
Criminal Justice/Sentencing Reform The Chamber supports sentencing reforms and rehabilitation programs to ease the financial drain on Oklahoma’s criminal justice system, lessen the burden on jails and prisons throughout the state and allow nonviolent offenders to enter the workforce more quickly.
Pension Reform The Chamber supports legislation to strengthen the long-term financial condition of the state’s pension plans.
Water The Chamber will work with the governor, state Legislature, City of Oklahoma City and other stakeholders to ensure the availability of a long-term water supply for central Oklahoma.
Oil and Gas Tax The Chamber supports a stable oil and gas tax structure which promotes the investment of drilling capital in Oklahoma.
i2E The Chamber supports continued funding for i2E programs, including the Seed Capital Fund.
Telecommunications The Chamber will support efforts to: • Protect and reform the Oklahoma Universal Service Fund (OUSF). • Protect an investment-friendly environment for the development of telecommunications infrastructure, including cell sites.
Competitive Markets for Vision Care The Chamber will support efforts to improve the availability of vision care in Oklahoma by eliminating artificial barriers to entry into the eye hardware market.
Appeal of Decisions from Local Boards, Commissions and Trusts The Chamber supports amending state law to protect property owners from frivolous claims and challenges intended to inhibit development.
FEDERAL ISSUES Remote Transactions Parity Act The Chamber supports passage of the Remote Transactions Parity Act to ensure sales and use taxes owed from online purchases are fairly and effectively reported, remitted and collected.
Immigration Reform The Chamber supports federal immigration
reform to secure the borders and establish reasonable and effective visa policies/procedures to attract essential workers to the United States.
MUNICIPAL ISSUES MAPS 3 The Chamber supports timely completion of all MAPS 3 projects.
2016 Public Policy Guide | 7
2016 EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
STATE ISSUESEarly Childhood Education The Chamber steadfastly supports early childhood education and full funding of prekindergarten and kindergarten programs. Targeted spending on our youngest children is simply a smart investment. The Chamber supports legislative initiatives to maintain early childhood education programs and initiatives.
Development of New Curriculum StandardsThe business community through the Chamber must be actively involved in making sure Oklahoma adopts high-quality new standards to ensure high school graduates are college- and career-ready. We will encourage the Legislature to avoid making changes to the new Oklahoma standards developed by the state Department of Education and urge leadership to have an up-or-down vote to approve the standards.
Maintain and Protect Graduation Requirements The Chamber wants all high school graduates to be prepared to enter college or the workforce. The Chamber opposes weakening graduation requirements, curriculum standards or other actions that could reduce the expectations of skills students must master before graduation. We support eliminating the Achieving Classroom Excellence (ACE) end-of-instruction tests and replacing them with other rigorous standard assessments such as the ACT, SAT or another widely recognized test. We support using such tests only if the score required for graduation indicates high proficiency. We also support an alternative graduation standard that takes into account GPA and a technology certificate plus scores on other assessments. We would support creation of a separate alternative diploma that would indicate attendance and participation but not proficiency.
Flexibility for Urban DistrictsThe Chamber supports local control for large urban districts. We support districts’ efforts to create unique urban goals, standards and accountability mechanisms that meet or exceed state standards once they are adopted.
Teacher Preparation, Recruitment and Retention Oklahoma has a teacher shortage and Oklahoma’s teacher preparation system needs to be improved in order to train, attract and retain high-quality teachers. We support review/revision of policies/laws to improve the recruitment and retention of high-quality teachers, including:
A competitive market-based salary and benefits package that encourages high-performing teachers to stay in the classroom, including targeted incentives for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), early childhood and special education teachers.
Eliminate limitations on districts’ ability to offer recruitment and retention incentives outside of negotiated agreements.
Continue to look for ways to streamline the certification process for already-certified teachers willing to relocate to Oklahoma.
Make it financially feasible for more educators to return to the classroom by easing statutory restrictions on retiree earnings, out-of-state service, military service or higher education adjunct service.
Support development of long-term plans to invest strategically in educators. This includes but is not limited to changes to the teacher salary structure and funding mechanisms.
8 | 2016 Public Policy Guide
Charter Schools The Chamber supports charter schools and education choices. Charter schools are public schools, with public school students and are required to adhere to the same rules and requirements as traditional public schools. We support creating high-quality charter schools and enabling successful charter schools to grow.
We support creating a solution to address the facility needs of Oklahoma charter schools that provides equitable solutions among all public schools.
Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics The Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics (OSSM) has consistently ranked among the nation's top public high schools. Over half of OSSM graduates stay in Oklahoma, and 85 percent are choosing STEM careers. The Chamber supports full funding of the OSSM FY 2017 budget request.
School and Campus Safety For each of the past six years, legislation has been introduced that would permit the carrying of guns at Oklahoma colleges and universities. The Chamber continues to oppose these efforts and believes carrying of firearms should not be part of life on campus. The Chamber also opposes efforts to permit the carrying of weapons at early childhood, pre-K-12 and Career Tech facilities.
Higher Education—College Degree Completion and FundingSince 2011, Gov. Mary Fallin and
the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have been working to increase the number of degrees and certifications that are awarded by our schools. The Chamber supports prioritizing funds to ensure continued success for the Complete College America initiative.
Oklahoma’s Promise Oklahoma’s Promise is one of the most successful college access programs in the country. We oppose legislation that
would diminish the program’s focus on college access. We support efforts to increase the number of college graduates and to maintain the direct allocation of state funds, which ensures full funding of the scholarships earned by Oklahoma students.
Attract and Develop High-Performing School LeadersTop-notch leadership by school superintendents and principals is critical to school performance. The Chamber supports creation and implementation of initiatives that attract, retain and develop innovative and high-performing school leaders.
Increased Instruction Time Oklahoma currently requires only 175 instructional days, which is among the lowest in the nation, and some schools have instructional days of six hours or less. We support legislation that facilitates increasing instruction time in the classroom and time on-task for students.
Business and Industry Training The Oklahoma CareerTech System is acknowledged as one of the top systems in the nation. CareerTech is a key ingredient in attracting industry to Oklahoma through its Training for Industry Program (TIP). The Chamber supports enhancement of CareerTech programming and ongoing funding to assure that training needs for new and existing industry are being met.
Career Readiness and Certification The Chamber believes Oklahoma needs more of our workforce to have post-secondary education targeted toward the skills that are in demand and meet industry needs. The Chamber supports creation of Industry-Recognized Credentials training programs as funding is available.
We support key scholarship programs: Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grants (OTEG), Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grants (OTAG) and concurrent enrollment. These will help achieve the Complete College America goals by enabling more students to enter college and obtain a college degree.
The Chamber supports higher education capital and maintenance improvements to support record enrollment growth as funding is available.
2016 Public Policy Guide | 9
HEALTH CARE PRIORITIES
STATE ISSUESExtend Coverage to More OklahomansThe Chamber supports extending health insurance coverage to more Oklahoma residents, through pursuit of all available funds, to cover the costs of uncompensated care that is currently shifted to employers and health care providers.
Insure OklahomaThe Chamber supports the State of Oklahoma’s efforts to preserve Insure Oklahoma through securing a multiyear waiver from the federal government. The Chamber further supports broadening Insure Oklahoma to provide health insurance coverage to more of the state’s uninsured.
Care Coordination Model The Chamber supports efforts by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to implement “Care Coordination” models designed to provide access to more efficient, less costly, higher-quality health care for the state’s high-risk, vulnerable aged, blind and disabled population.
Research and DevelopmentThe Chamber will support efforts to foster an environment that is conducive to further research and will oppose efforts to unreasonably restrict the continued development of the state’s bioscience and research programs.
MandatesThe Chamber opposes new health insurance mandates and liability that will undermine an employer’s ability to provide quality health insurance at reasonable cost to employees.
The Chamber further opposes new mandates being placed on physicians, hospitals and providers that will increase the cost of providing quality health care in Oklahoma.
Physician Shortage/Rural AccessThe Chamber supports the following initiatives to address health care disparities: 1) incentivizing the recruitment and retention of primary care physicians and allied health professionals in rural and underserved areas; 2) expanding residency programs in the state’s medical schools; and 3) developing high school programs to encourage medical careers. The Chamber supports efforts to identify new funding streams dedicated to these initiatives.
The Chamber also supports the expansion of technology platforms (such as telemedicine and telehealth) to address the physician shortage and limited access to health care in rural Oklahoma.
Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET)The Chamber supports the constitutional provisions of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) to support the public health of Oklahomans.
Uncompensated Care Pool The Chamber supports adequate funding for the state’s Uncompensated Care Pool which allows federally qualified health centers to be paid for providing quality health care to underserved Oklahomans.
10 | 2016 Public Policy Guide
Any Willing ProviderThe Chamber opposes “any willing provider” legislation which would eliminate the incentive for medical providers to contract with managed care networks and, as a result, potentially frustrate efforts at cost and quality control and ultimately deny consumers the benefits of cost-reducing arrangements with providers.
Wellness/Oklahoma Health Improvement PlanThe Chamber supports state initiatives including wellness and disease prevention and cure programs that serve to improve the physical, behavioral and mental health of Oklahoma citizens such as: the Oklahoma State Innovation Model; the Oklahoma State Health Innovation Plan; the new five-year Oklahoma Health Improvement Plan supported through the State Department of Health; tobacco prevention programs; studies of the potential health effects of e-cigarettes; public outreach initiatives; efforts to address health disparities; and workplace and school-based wellness, health education and healthy eating programs.
Prevention of Disease The Chamber recognizes the detrimental impact of chronic and communicable diseases on the quality of life for Oklahoma’s citizens and the severe economic costs they impose on health care providers and employers. Therefore, the Chamber will support efforts by the state’s elected
officials and medical and research communities to develop avenues to successfully prevent and combat chronic and communicable diseases.
Penalties for Sale of Over-the-Counter DrugsThe Chamber will oppose measures that would limit access to the sale of legal over-the-counter products.
Prescription Drug AbuseThe Chamber acknowledges prescription drug abuse is a crisis facing Oklahoma and supports collaborative efforts by stakeholders to address this issue that can lead to death and negatively impact quality of life, health care costs and employers.
FEDERAL ISSUESThe Chamber supports improving health care quality, access and affordability without imposing new mandates and/or taxes on business. Therefore, the Chamber opposes a single-payer government-run/public option or health care system with government mandates.
The Chamber believes that employers drive innovation in health benefits and that market-driven health reforms are the best approach to reducing costs while promoting efficiency, wellness and quality of care.
2016 Public Policy Guide | 11
TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIESSTATE ISSUESMajor ProjectsThe Chamber will advocate for full funding and timely completion of work on major interchanges located at Interstate 44/Broadway Extension and I-240/I-35 (Crossroads), as well as the following major projects: I-40 east of I-240, I-40 east of I-35 (Tinker Air Force Base) and necessary improvements to State Highway 74 (north of Lake Hefner Parkway).
Governor’s Bridge Improvement PlanThe Chamber supports providing adequate annual appropriations to implement Gov. Mary Fallin’s and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s (ODOT’s) Bridge Improvement Plan to repair or replace all of Oklahoma’s structurally deficient bridges on the state’s highway system by 2020.
ODOT Eight-Year Plan The Chamber supports annual appropriations necessary to preserve and implement ODOT’s eight-year construction work plan. Further, the Chamber will strongly oppose any effort to divert dedicated transportation funding to other areas of government. To ensure funding is available to ODOT for the performance of critical project completion and maintenance work on the state’s transportation system, the Chamber supports keeping the state’s gasoline tax revenue whole.
Governor’s Turnpike Plan The Chamber supports Gov. Fallin’s Turnpike Plan and, specifically, the following Oklahoma City-area projects: 1) the construction of a new turnpike facility to link Interstates 40 and 44 (Turner Turnpike) in eastern Oklahoma County; and 2) the construction of a new southwest extension of the existing Kilpatrick Turnpike between I-40 and State Highway 152/Airport Road.
I-40 Crosstown ReconnectionThe Chamber believes timely restoration of full access between I-40 and downtown Oklahoma City is critical and will therefore advocate for the reconnection of the old I-40 (new boulevard) to the remaining reconnection corridor between Gaylord/Shields (east end) and Western Avenue as promptly as possible.
Ports of EntryThe Chamber supports adequate annual state appropriations and staffing levels for the timely completion
and effective use of weigh stations at Oklahoma’s ports of entry to ensure the protection of Oklahoma’s roads and bridges from unnecessary damage caused by overweight freight loads.
State Transit FundingThe Chamber supports protecting state revenues allocated into the State of Oklahoma’s Public Transit Revolving Fund to meet citizen demand for public transit.
Heartland FlyerPassenger rail service is a key component of the development of the Oklahoma City intermodal hub and the future development of commuter rail throughout the metropolitan area. The Chamber will work with the Congressional delegation, ODOT and the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) to oppose efforts to reduce or eliminate the federal subsidy received by Oklahoma to operate the Heartland Flyer Amtrak service to Fort Worth, Texas. Moreover, the Chamber supports ongoing efforts by ODOT to negotiate with the State of Texas and Amtrak to ensure Amtrak can be maintained as the passenger rail carrier. The Chamber supports continued dialogue on extending the Heartland Flyer Amtrak service to Newton, Kansas – which would connect Oklahoma City to Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and other locations on the Amtrak system.
Oklahoma Rail Safety Improvements Plan The Chamber supports ODOT’s Rail Safety Improvements plan to address rail safety issues in Oklahoma City and across the state.
Railroad Tax CreditThe Chamber supports tax policy that will enable maintenance and improvements to key railroad infrastructure in Oklahoma City and across the state, specifically including the Tax Credit for Qualified Railroad Reconstruction or Replacement Expenditures.
MUNICIPAL ISSUESDowntown BoulevardThe Chamber will work with the Congressional delegation, the City of Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) to ensure the timely completion of the Downtown Boulevard. Significant delays in completing the Downtown Boulevard will impair access to downtown and negatively impact current and future businesses
12 | 2016 Public Policy Guide
located along the proposed boulevard route and within the downtown core.
Mass Transit/Commuter Rail The Chamber supports implementation of transit programs that will best serve Central Oklahoma including the Central Oklahoma Transit and Parking Authority (COTPA) 2005 Fixed Guideway Transit Study and its following components:
• Association of Central Oklahoma Government’s (ACOG) Regional Transit Dialogue Committees to identify regional transit alternatives/solutions for Central Oklahoma. • ACOG’s Commuter Corridors Study recommendations to implement mitigation strategies for future congestion.
• The Chamber further supports the development and implementation of a task force consisting of core Central Oklahoma cities working toward the goal of establishing a Regional Transit Authority (RTA) to further plan and launch future regional transit services.
The Chamber will work with ACOG; municipal governments; ODOT; and Class 1 railroads to conduct early-stage planning for introducing commuter rail service into downtown Oklahoma City from Norman, Edmond and Midwest City. Further planning consideration should be given to potential future expansion of rail service to the Shawnee and Yukon areas.
Intermodal Hub The Chamber will work with the City of Oklahoma City, ACOG, COTPA, ODOT and the state Legislature to develop and fund an intermodal hub at the Santa Fe station that will effectively integrate various modes of transportation and enhance economic development opportunities.
The Chamber supports efforts to work with stakeholders to maximize alignment and development of future locally preferred alternatives for mass transportation.
Bus ServiceThe Chamber supports greater frequency and expanded service hours for bus routes.
Quiet ZonesThe Chamber will work with the City of Oklahoma City, the Alliance for Economic Development and ODOT to establish a Railroad Quiet Zone on the BNSF mainline running through downtown Oklahoma City.
ParkingThe Chamber supports continued construction of additional parking to allow continued economic development downtown.
Alternative TransportationThe Chamber supports increased construction of sidewalks, trails and bike lanes. FEDERAL ISSUESFederal Highway Trust Fund The Chamber will work with our Congressional delegation and ODOT to secure a permanent funding solution for the Federal Highway Trust Fund (including Mass Transit programs). The Chamber supports adequate funding levels to properly maintain the national transportation system.
Bus FundingThe Chamber supports restoring federal bus funding to pre-MAP 21 (referring to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act) levels to include both discretionary and formula-based funding mechanisms.
The decisions made at the Capitol have far-reaching impacts on all Oklahomans and Oklahoma business owners. The Chamber recognizes that all businesses in the state should have the opportunity to grow and succeed in a positive business climate.
By collaborating with various partner organizations on issues, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber can help
promote a business-friendly environment throughout Greater Oklahoma City and the State of Oklahoma.
During the 2016 legislative session, the Chamber will partner with the Tulsa Regional Chamber on a joint agenda. This agenda can be seen in its entirety at www.okcchamber.com/legislative.

OKLAHOMA STATE LEGISLATURE PRO-BUSINESS
SCORESIt is critical for the business community to support candidates and elected officials who will advance pro-business legislation at the Capitol. The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s government relations division provides information prepared by the statewide Research Institute for Economic Development (RIED) to identify elected officials’ votes on issues important to the business community. Alongside the RIED scores, the Chamber also assigns a score to legislators based on issues important to the Greater Oklahoma City region.
In 2015, the Chamber tracked votes on the Pew Incentive Review Model; legislation ensuring economic development
incentives have measurable goals; completion of the American Indian Cultural Center; legislation preventing local municipalities from regulating oil and gas drilling; instituting performance-informed budgeting; and authorizing state-wide charter schools.
The following charts represent the voting records for state House and Senate members based on the issues identified by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and RIED scores for 2015. RIED scores for previous years can be found at www.riedreport.com.

OKLAHOMA COUNTY GOVERNMENTwww.oklahomacounty.org
The administrative body of Oklahoma County is the Board of County Commissioners, which was created by the Oklahoma Legislature. Oklahoma County, like all counties in Oklahoma, is divided into three districts. The districts are as equal in population as possible, numbered 1, 2 and 3, and subject to alteration by the Oklahoma Legislature not more than once every 10 years. One commissioner is elected from each district for a term of four years.
Elections are held every two years, beginning with a primary on the last Tuesday in June. The runoff is held on
the fourth Tuesday of August, and the general election is on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The next Oklahoma County elections will be in 2016.

OKLAHOMA CITY GOVERNMENT www.okc.gov
Oklahoma City is governed by a council/manager system established by an amendment to the city charter in 1927. The charter, adopted in 1916, originally called for a commission form of government. The mayor and eight city council members are elected to four-year terms. In order to keep continuity within city government, half of the council is elected every two years. The city is divided into eight wards. The voters of each ward elect a council member to represent them, and the mayor is elected at large. The mayor and the council appoint a city manager to serve as the city’s chief administrative official.
Primary elections are held the first Tuesday of March. The general election is held the first Tuesday of April. The filing period is neither more than 29 days nor less than 24 days before the primary election. Elections for the city wards are always held in odd-numbered years, while the mayoral election is held in an even-numbered year. Elections for 2017 are as follows:
