Gross Production Tax Appropriations Commit-

Former President of the
Oklahoma County Com-
missioners and Chair of
the Johnston County Com-
missioners, Mike Thomp-
son, made an emotional
appeal to Oklahoma Oil
and Gas companies for
help in leveling the play-
ing field with the GROSS
tee, killed SB 440 which
proposed a severance fee.
Thompson stated, “To my
knowledge Senator Brice
has never been to Johnston
County. We have national
mining corporations dig-
ging holes in the ground
400 feet deep, possibly
adversely impacting our
water supply, the Arbuckle
Simpson aquifer and pil-

tion tax to support Okla-
homa yet aggregate com-
panies are paying nothing.
The aggregate companies
are mining millions of tons
of gravel, sand, and rock
and shipping it by the train
loads out of state. It is
time the free ride stop.”
He continued by making
a request for the energy
companies to join in the
effort to pass House Bill
1404. He stated, “Oklaho-
ma county commissioners
have worked hand in hand
for decades to provide
quality roads and bridges
for companies to produce
oil and gas, especially in
rural areas. Today we are
asking the energy compa-
nies to contact Oklahoma
Senators and ask them to
join us in supporting HB
1404. This bill provides
aggregate gross produc-
tion taxes which can be
used for roads and bridges.
Commissioner Thompson
expressed concern about
rural vs urban funding. He
stated, “The Oklahoma
legislature approved an
aggregate tax for Okla-
homa and Tulsa counties,
two of the richest coun-
ties in the state. Johnston
County is one of the poor-
est of the counties which
are producing the most
aggregates in the state
and there is no tax. This
is blatant economic dis-
crimination, and it is time
for fairness in funding and
taxing. “ Johnston Coun-
ty produces about 100
million tons of aggregates
and most is shipped to
Texas, tax free. Johnston
County has almost one
third of its citizens on food
stamps and the county
struggles daily with fund-
ing county government
and certainly needs more
funds for county equip-
ment and road repair. On
a final note, Commission-
er Thompson said that he
invites Senator Stephanie
Brice to travel to Johnston
County and see first-hand
the mining operations.
Senator Brice, chair of the
polluted Pitcher, Oklaho-
ma.” Thompson conclud-
ed by commenting that all
legislators and the state
chamber need to have an
in-depth knowledge base
on issues and make on site
visits before they make
decisions and recommen-
dations that impact thou-
sands of people, especially
when the people are eco-
nomically disadvantaged.

Legislators to be
Briefed on Oklahoma
Water Pollution at
Event Kicked off by
Drew Edmondson
A first-of-its-kind event
at the Oklahoma State
Capitol will bring together
citizens, legislators, and
some of Oklahoma’s most
well-known environmen-
tal advocates to talk about
Oklahoma water pollution.
Oklahoma Water Lobby
Day will take place on
March 27th, 10 a.m. un-
til 2 p.m., in the 1st Floor
Rotunda of the Oklahoma
State Capitol. The public
is encouraged to show up,
learn about Oklahoma’s
water woes, and then par-
ticipate in a brief lobby
training followed by direct
lobbying of their Repre-
sentatives and Senators.
The Day will begin at 10
a.m. with remarks from
former Attorney General
Drew Edmondson, Dela-
ware County community
organizer Pam Kingfisher,
and Ponca Tribe Coun-
cilwoman Casey Camp-
Horinek, an internation-
ally known proponent of
the Rights of Nature legal
movement, who has been
dealing with contamina-
tion of her tribe’s wa-
ter resources in northern
Oklahoma for many years.
Drew Edmondson, former
Oklahoma Attorney Gen-
eral and Gubernatorial
candidate, believes that in
failing to clean up the Il-
linois River, the State of
Oklahoma is failing our
children. Said Edmond-
son, “Gandhi said, "The
earth, the air, the land and
the water are not an in-
heritance from our fore-
fathers but on loan from
our children. So we have
to hand over to them at
least as it was handed over
to us." In my religion we
are directed in the book
of Genesis to be stewards
over the earth. How are
we doing? We have pol-
luted the air to the point of
changing our very climate,
endangering coastlines
and inhabited islands. We
have put chemicals and
waste material into our
streams and lakes, deplet-
ing the oxygen content,
choking the water with al-
gae blooms. Our children
are watching - what will
we say to them decades
from now? What will we
Kingfisher, founder of
Green Country Guardians,
a citizens group working
to stop widespread water
pollution caused by the
poultry industry in eastern
Oklahoma, will share her
community’s experience
following unlimited indus-
trial poultry development
over the past two years in
Delaware County. “As a
Cherokee, Water is a big
part of our religion. Our
ancient ceremonies in-
clude “Going to the Water”
in prayer and thankfulness.
We want to protect our
natural resources to assure
we can continue a way of
life many local families
have enjoyed since before
statehood. Water is life!”
Casey Camp-Horinek,
elder and tribal council-
woman of the Ponca Tribe
of Oklahoma, will discuss
how governments can take
steps to assure long-term
care and protection of our
most precious natural re-
source by enacting Rights
of Nature laws for the
sake of future generations.
"Water, our first environ-
ment, is precious beyond
measure. Water is often
called a valuable resource
to be measured in gallons,
then an equivalent in mon-
etary worth. In truth, it is
not a resource but a Source
of life. Water has always
been recognized as that
Source by all living enti-
ties since time immemo-
rial and in our Indigenous
teachings has always been
honored in every ceremo-
ny we participate in. With-
out Water there is no Life.
It's that simple. As our
ancestors did for all of us,
we must protect Water for
our generations to come.
That will be our legacy,
our place in history-- how
will our story be told?”
asks Camp-Horinek. Ta-
blings from community
groups such as STIR (Save
the Illinois River), LEAD
Agency, Green Country
Guardians and organiza-
tions like Oklahomans for
Responsible Water Policy
and the Oklahoma Chap-
ter of Sierra Club will be
on display around the 1st
Floor Rotunda from 10
a.m. until 2 p.m., with
information and spokes-
people available to discuss
Oklahoma’s biggest wa-
ter threats with the public
and legislators. Oklaho-
mans who are concerned
or interested in the various
pollution issues plaguing
Oklahoma’s waterways
and aquifers are encour-
aged to attend. Overviews
of some of Oklahoma’s
biggest water problems
will be shared, including
ground water use and con-
tamination related to the
oil and gas industry, river
and ground water pollu-
tion caused by the poultry
industry, the impacts of
mining on Oklahoma riv-
ers, the issue of ground
water contamination by
coal ash, and how our riv-
ers and streams are at risk
by Oklahoma being the
only state in the United
States to not have “in-
stream flow protections”
in place. Though not open
to the general public, two
additional events will take
place during Oklahoma
Water Lobby Day. A noon
luncheon for legislators

Food safety program
helps prepare OSU
students for food
industry
Oklahoma State Univer-
sity students interested in
food safety are taking ad-
vantage of a new program
offered by the Robert M.
Kerr Food & Agricultural
Products Center. FAPC’s
Food Safety Professional
program recognizes cur-
rent and future industry
leaders specializing in food
safety who have attended
and completed a substan-
tial number of workshops
and trainings offered by
the state-of-the-art food
processing center. Since
the launch of the program
in March 2018, three grad-
uate students have applied
and earned a certificate
through the Food Safety
Professional program ––
Conner McDaniel, Sabra
Billups and James Hearn.
James Hearn, food sci-
ence graduate student spe-
cializing in food safety,
said the program allows
you to take workshops
and trainings that apply
to real-world food safety
situations, which is defi-
nitely beneficial when en-
tering the food industry.
“As a student or industry
leader, these workshops
and trainings give you a
leg up on the competi-
tion,” he said. “The pro-
gram certification gives
you good talking points
on a resume with a future
employer. It’s a marketing
technique that allows you
to market yourself in the
best way and that is with
any certification, like the
Food Safety Professional
program.” Hearn said the
workshops and trainings
help to conjoin people of
similar interests together
in one room. “You’re not
only learning the technical
skills of the trade, but also
getting networking experi-
ence, which is almost as
important as the technical
skills,” he said. “The con-
nections you make here
can get you much further in
the industry.” Conner Mc-
Daniel, OSU food science
graduate student, said the
