On Deck, Ep. 45: Senator Treat talks 2020 Interim Studies, Legislature’s big win in court, and redistricting

When the Legislature is not in session, lawmakers take time to study issues more in depth through interim studies. Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat talks about some of the study requests for the 2020 interim. Senator Treat and House Speaker Charles McCall filed a lawsuit saying two new tribal gaming compacts were not valid - and the Oklahoma Supreme Court agreed. Senator Treat tells us the lawsuits were more about checks and balances among the branches of government than compacts. Finally, the Senate recently announced more details of its process to ensure the public's role in the redistricting process and Senator Treat gives us an update.
