Wayne Greene -- On Tuesday we elected a new Legislature, as we do every other year. As in the past, a lot of the winning candidates spent their time talking about improving education in Oklahoma and how tired they are of Oklahoma's perennial last-place standing in all the rankings that count.

Oklahoma Editorial -- In January, Gov. Brad Henry said he had no plans to actively campaign against State Question 744 but wouldn't rule it out in case he needed to speak more publicly should the question appear headed for passage.
