Oklahoma Democratic lawmakers are calling for teacher pay raises while sharing their state budget priorities. Lawmakers are aiming to double the pay increases backed by the Republican party. Democrats are opposing any budget that includes tax cuts.
State Representative Mickey Dollens said funding OETA (Oklahoma Educational Television Authority) is a main priority, as he grew up in a home without cable television.
"We had Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, and continuing that finding to OETA is one of our top priorities," Dollens said.
