OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Business advocates are promoting an 11-point plan to create more jobs in the state.
A statewide coalition of chambers of commerce
released their jobs plan Wednesday. It focuses on issues that the
state's business community will pursue during the 2013 legislative
session to stimulate economic growth in Oklahoma. Organizations that
developed the jobs plan include the State Chamber of Oklahoma, the
Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and the Tulsa Regional Chamber.
The agenda focuses on changing the state's workers'
compensation system, fully funding state education programs and health
care issues.
State Chamber President Fred Morgan says the state
is fortunate to have leaders who focus on jobs and improving the
economy. Morgan says the state should maintain that momentum and do more
to make Oklahoma a good place to do business.
