ABIGAI CONTINUING OUR
CONVERSATION WITH LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR TOM LAMB.
WE RECEIVED A LOT OF COMMENTS
ABOUT YOU DISTANCING YOURSELF
AND RESIGNING FROM MARY FALLIN'S
CABINET EARLY IN FEBRUARY.
JUST ABOUT YOU AND YOUR ROLE IN
GENERAL.
WE HAVE THIS QUESTION FROM JOSH.
WITH NO REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS,
HOW WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE
BUDGET?
LT. GOV. LAMB: THE BUDGET IS NOT
JUST A PIECE OF PAPER WITH A
BUNCH OF NUMBERS ON IT.
IT IS AN ONGOING CONVERSATION.
THE CONVERSATION THAT I HAVE HAD
WITH MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND
SENATE IS WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
STREAMLINE GOVERNMENT.
I HAVE TALKED TO AGENCY HEADS
AND DIRECTORS WHO SAY THERE IS
STILL OPPORTUNITY TO STREAMLINE
MORE, TO SAVE TAXPAYER.
TAX INCENTIVES AND TAX CREDITS
HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT IN OKLAHOMA
BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN EXAMINED
THOROUGHLY.
MAYBE NOT ENOUGH MAGNIFICATION
ON THE LENS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING
AT.
I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THOSE
BEFORE WE ASK TAXPAYERS TO SEND
MORE TO THE STATE CAPITAL.
A LOT OF FAMILIES ARE SENDING
MONEY THERE NOW.
ARE WE USING IT WISELY AS FAR AS
TAX CREDITS AND TAX INCENTIVES
ARE CONCERNED?
ABIGAIL: SO YOU'RE NOT
INTERESTED IN RAISING TAXES ON
CIGARETTES, GAS, OR OTHER
THINGS.
YOU WANT TO LOOK AT OTHER THINGS
FIRST BEFORE WE RAISE TAXES.
LT. GOV. LAMB: PART OF MY
RESIGNATION WAS THE NEW TAX ON
THE SERVICES.
ANYTHING ELSE THAT THE
LEGISLATURE DOES THIS YEAR, I
WILL NOT ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK.
THEY HAVE TO MAKE SOME TOUGH
DECISIONS THIS YEAR.
IF THEY WANT MY ADVICE, I'M
HAPPY TO GIVE IT.
ABIGAIL: WE HAVE THIS QUESTION
MANY TIMES.
BLAKE SAYS THIS IS PROBABLY A
POLITICAL MOVE FOR WHEN HE RUNS
FOR GOVERNOR.
WAS THIS A POLITICAL MOVE?
LT. GOV. LAMB: NO, IT WASN'T.
MY MOVE, AS BLAKE REFERRED TO
IT, WAS AS A SMALL BUSINESS
ADVOCATE.
MY CONCERN FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
IN OKLAHOMA, MY CONCERN FOR THE
OKLAHOMA FAMILY.
THAT IS WHY I MADE THE DECISION,
WHY I MADE THE MOVE.
ABIGAIL: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH A CAMPAIGN IN THE FUTURE, A
POTENTIAL RUN FOR GOVERNOR?
LT. GOV. LAMB: I WILL BE MORE
CLEAR.
WE DID NOT POLL THE DECISION, WE
DID NOT STUDY THE DECISION, I
DID NOT CALL AROUND TO ASK
OTHERS ABOUT THEIR ADVICE ON THE
DECISION.
THIS WAS A DECISION I MADE FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES AND OKLAHOMA
FAMILIES.
ABIGAIL: IF YOU WANT TO ANNOUNCE
THAT YOU WANT TO RUN FOR
GOVERNOR, NOW COULD BE THE TIME.
LT. GOV. LAMB: I AGREE SHE IS
THE TIME, BUT NO ANNOUNCEMENT
TODAY.
ABIGAIL: A NEWSOK ARTICLE SAYS
THAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RUN
FOR GOVERNOR NEXT YEAR.
LT. GOV. LAMB: WE HAVE RECEIVED
A LOT OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO LOOK
AT THE RACE.
AS I TRAVEL AROUND THE STATE, WE
HAVE FRIENDS IN EVERY COUNTY
ASKING ME TO LOOK AT THE RACE IN
2018.
WE ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT IT.
I DO HAVE MY WIFE'S PERMISSION,
MY WIFE MONICA, SO I THINK WE,
THE PUBLIC, MAY HEAR MORE ABOUT
MY DECISION IN THE FUTURE.
BUT NO ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY.
WE ARE TAKING A STRONG LOOK AT
IT.
ABIGAIL: WE WILL STAY TUNED.
A QUESTION FROM KEITH, WHERE DO
YOU THINK WE NEED TO GET MORE
TAX REVENUES FROM?
WE ARE VERY RELIANT ON OIL AND
GAS IN OUR STATE.
WHERE SHOULD THE TAX REVENUE
COME FROM?
LT. GOV. LAMB: A CHALLENGE THAT
WE HAVE IN OKLAHOMA -- AND IT'S
A GREAT QUESTION.
LEGISLATIVE SESSION OR FOR THE
NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
OKLAHOMA IS HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON
COMMODITIES AND AGRICULTURE
RELATED TO OIL AND GAS, WHERE WE
DO NOT SET THE PRICE.
OKLAHOMA MUST DO A BETTER JOB IN
THE FUTURE TO DIVERSIFY OUR
ECONOMY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
ABIGAIL: YOU MENTIONED, GOT TO
BE TEXAS.
AS A FORMER SPORTS REPORTER, I
LOVE THE COMPARISON HERE.
E HAVE TO BE TEXAS IN SOMETHING
OTHER THAN PUT ALL.
WE TALK ABOUT TEACHERS, WE
INTERVIEWED TEACHERS ALL THE
TIME THAT LEAVE THE PROFESSION,
OR THEY GO TO TEXAS, WHERE THEY
CAN MAKE MORE MONEY.
WHAT CAN WE DO RIGHT NOW IN A
BUDGET CRISIS WHERE WE ARE NOT
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
HOLE, WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE
STATE LEGISLATORS TO DO THIS
SESSION TO GET THEM A RAISE?
WE SPOKE TO THE MINORITY LEADER
WHO SAID IT IS NOT HAPPENING.
LT. GOV. LAMB: I AM THE ETERNAL
OPTIMIST.
I THINK THERE IS STILL
OPPORTUNITY.
THERE ARE 149 LEGISLATORS.
THEY WILL HAVE TO PRIORITIZE
WHAT THE FINAL BUDGET IS THIS
YEAR.
OUTSIDE OF TALKING TO TEACHERS,
I AM MARRIED TO ONE.
I HAVE AN UNPAID EDUCATION
ADVISOR -- SHE IS PAID AS A
TEACHER -- BUT UNPAID AS AN
ADVISER.
SHE HAS TAUGHT IN TULSA, INNER
CITIES, OKLAHOMA CITY.
I SEE FIRSTHAND THE CHALLENGES
THAT THE TEACHERS HAVE.
I HAVE SUPPORTED TEACHER PAY
RAISE BEFORE BUT ALSO ADDITIONAL
RIGOR IN THE
CLASSROOM.
MAKING SURE WE HAVE
ACCOUNTABILITY.
IT IS ALSO MORE THAN FUNDING
ALONE.
OUR TEACHERS ARE INCREDIBLE
ASSETS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANYONE TO
TEXAS, TEACHERS, SCIENTISTS, WE
WANT TO KEEP OUR TEACHERS HERE.
ONE WAY TO DO THAT IS TO PROVIDE
A SIGNIFICANT TEACHER PAY RAISE
FOR EDUCATORS.
ABIGAI LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
TODD LAMB, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
A LOT MORE TO COME.
