Voters offer opinions on state questions
MOORE, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma voters are considering six proposed state questions on the general election ballot ranging from property taxes and affirmative action to restructuring the Department of Human Services.
David Ellis in Moore said he voted to change the way DHS is governed because he believes it's time to reform the agency.
Jenifer Peacock and Mike Break both said they voted to end affirmative action in state government. Peacock said she believes it's an antiquated law and Break said he believes people should be judged as individuals not members of a group.
Other questions are whether to limit the governor's role in the parole process, limit property tax increases to three percent annually, exempt intangible property from property taxes and allow the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to issue bonds.
