<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">You can go to <A href="http://www.100ideas.org/">http://www.100ideas.org</A> and submit ideas for Oklahoma's future. They will be reviewed by state officials as part a project by the new House Speaker Lance Cargill. This looks like a great opportunity to promote sustainability concepts for our state. For our future lets get more innovate and creative as a state, promoting smart growth and sustainable development in both rural and urban Oklahoma. For example:</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Lets build on our energy heritage of oil and natural gas and our agricultural background with investments in research and development for renewables like wind, solar, and biomass. Pull these efforts together through a comprehensive state Energy Plan. Market Oklahoma as the energy capital of the plains.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Work together on the state Water Plan with good public buy-in and have vision with this highly valuable resource.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Grow our tranist system through commuter rail especially making the OKC to Tulsa connection. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Have public buildings constructed with LEED standards for green design and encourage private contractors to move in this direction.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Look at changing our state's land use enabling legislation which is nearly fifty years old, to promote greater density in our towns and cities, thus decreasing sprawl and preserving farmlands and forestlands.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Create greater incentives for reinvestment in our low income urban areas that will help with municipal sales tax collections and stem the exodus to suburbia. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Look at rebates for restaurants and grocery stores that do business with our state's farmers and producers. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*Allow Dept. of Human Services food stamps to work for produce at farmers markets.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">*As the Oklahoma Academy for State Goals calls for-----Fund and implement a state Sustainability Plan to bring these ideas together for our next 100 years. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR>By Jennifer Mock 1-11-07 Daily Oklahoman<BR>Capitol Bureau<BR><BR>House Speaker Lance Cargill put out a call to all Oklahomans on Wednesday for ideas to improve state government, all the while not telling the public who is paying for his "100 ideas” initiative. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The initiative, which Cargill announced last week, will solicit ideas from people across the state for a year. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">It mirrors one completed in Florida, where Democrats criticized its agenda as being driven by Republicans. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Former Republican Rep. Thad Balkman of Norman is running the initiative as its executive director. Balkman said the entire project will be funded through private donations. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Balkman said he did not have permission to release the names of the donors who already have given to the project. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Balkman said he expects many Oklahomans to donate to the initiative, which also will fund his salary. Total costs expected for the project are unknown, Balkman said. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">People will be able to submit ideas online or through town hall meetings across the state over the next year. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">"I want 2007 to be the year of ideas for Oklahoma,” said Cargill, R-Harrah. Cargill said he hopes the program will "foster more faith in our government and bring democracy directly to the people.” </SPAN></FONT></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The advisory panel</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">All ideas will be considered, Cargill said. To ensure the best innovations are selected, the advisory panel includes Democrats and Republicans, Cargill said. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Several members of the advisory board were named at the kickoff Wednesday, including former Govs. George Nigh, David Boren and Frank Keating. Former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys also will serve. Ideas created in the Florida program ranged from requiring inmates to learn to read before being released to making physical education classes mandatory in public schools. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Some far-fetched ideas also were included on Florida's Web site, including wanting the space industry to work with the state to develop sky cars. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">But in Florida, the ideas were narrowed by Republican lawmakers, and the project and book were financed by the state Republican Party. There, Democrats criticized the process, saying their ideas were left out. Cargill said that will not happen in Oklahoma. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">"We are not interested in Republican ideas or Democratic ideas, we just want good ideas,” Cargill said. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">House Minority Leader Danny Morgan said he is optimistic all ideas will be considered. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">"(Cargill's) commitment to work in a bipartisan fashion is very refreshing, and the House Democrats look forward to working with Speaker Cargill on issues that will move Oklahoma forward,” said Morgan, D-Prague. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Morgan also encouraged Cargill and Balkman to look to the Oklahoma Academy of State Goals, a nonprofit organization researching the problems facing Oklahomans, and coming up with solutions to the top issues. Much research has been done through the academy on the most pressing issues, and Morgan — who is on the academy's board of directors — said there is "no need to reinvent the wheel.” </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Balkman also serves on the Academy of State Goals' board of directors. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></DIV>
