There’s a new turnpike gate coming to the district. Hogback Road and I-44. This is a work that has been going on since 1972 or so. The county commissioner Willa Johnson and her staff, Gary Ridley, the director of the turnpike authority and Dept of Transportation and his staff have got this project moving! The bids are going out this April/May with dirt moving this July. The gates for now will be OKC only. Traffic to and from OKC will be able to exit from the gate. March 25, 2010 Dear Friend, I hope this letter finds you well. At the capitol we are in the thick of the 2010 legislative session, and it is my goal to work for responsible solutions to the issues facing Oklahomans. This year, the top issue is the state budget. The national economic downturn is affecting states the same way it’s affecting Oklahoma families. We all need to be ready for some of the sacrifices that will need to be made. Because Oklahoma is comprised of hard-working, honest, and genuine people, Oklahoma will overcome the challenges we face today the same way we have overcome challenges in the past. Here are the highlights of five bills I’ve filed this year:
Most importantly, we need to apply the “common sense test” to any new bills that go through the Legislature. Our first responsibility is to you, the taxpayer, and to represent your best interests at your state Capitol. It is an honor to serve as your voice in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. If you have questions or comments about state government, or if I may ever be of service to you, please contact me at my Capitol office by phone, 405-557-7400, or by email, lewis.moore@okhouse.gov . Sincerely, Lewis Moore Oklahoma House of Representatives January 22, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: State Rep. Lewis H. Moore Capitol: (405) 557-7400 Moore: Oklahoma Should ‘Fast Forward’ Workers Comp System OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma has an opportunity to “fast forward” how the state provides workers’ compensation benefits, state Rep. Lewis Moore said today. “We have a provision in place now that allows for an exciting option in how we currently offer coverage for on the job injuries and sickness – 24/7 coverage,” Moore, R-Edmond, said. “It combines the best of both group health and workers’ compensation coverage. Currently, group health insurance covers you when you’re asleep and not at work, or about 16 hours a day. Workers’ comp covers you when you’re at work. As much as both types of coverage cost, we can’t help but be able to save a great deal of money, give our businesses an opportunity to be much more competitive, reduce the animosity and adversarial relationship promoted by the current system and help more people become insured. By reducing the cost and streamlining the benefits, we will save employees and employers a great deal of time and money.” Moore has filed House Bill 2886 to make it possible for the Oklahoma State Employees Benefits Council and the Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board to begin a pilot program that state agencies and employers can participate in to take advantage of the 24/7 provision in Title 85. “If you are hurt playing softball, you go to the doctor and have the injury taken care of,” Moore said. “Whatever deductible you have for health insurance is what you would pay for the injury, regardless of whether it was job-related or not. Supplemental coverage would meet many of the expenses incurred using a benefit bank employers can put into place using their savings. The exclusive remedy provision, for liability protection, covers 24/7 coverage as well.” Moore said neither employees nor employers are happy with the current workers’ compensation system. “Employees don’t like the system because it takes too long for their benefits to make their way through it,” Moore said. “Employers don’t like it because of the extra costs.” Moore noted that a large chunk of the employee benefits portion of the budget could be reduced without hurting state employees coverage if his legislation passes. “The workers’ compensation industry is no longer as productive as it needs to be for us to be competitive,” Moore said. “We must take care of our workforce and help employers compete. We can be leaders in putting our state at the forefront of providing solutions and do the right thing by all involved.” -30- Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to move my web site and get it updated. We’ll be testing a few things so forgive the ‘test pages’ but we’re close to getting it working the way it should be. I hope to be able to keep our district updated on all issues that impact your lives as well as Oklahoma! LM Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee Sept 29, 2008 Over the last few weeks the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee (OCPAC) invited candidates to be interviewed who are running for the Oklahoma State House of Representatives and State Senate in the upcoming general election. OCPAC is a statewide organization, headquartered in Edmond, which financially contributes to legislative candidates running in qualified districts and who the members vote to endorse. Lewis Moore received OCPAC’s endorsement for the State House of Representatives District #96. The interview process involved allowing the candidates to speak for several minutes followed by a series of questions on campaign contributions, morality within legislation, and taxation methodologies. Once answered the members had ample time to grill the candidates on other or more specific issues. Organizational Chairman Charlie Meadows said, “even though it takes a majority of votes to receive our endorsement and the members are not even required to endorse anyone it was obvious, with his understanding and clarity on positions along with his strong convictions, Lewis Moore a is conservative candidate and won our endorsement with overwhelming support.” When it comes to legislative seats the organization is looking for candidates with solid conservative core values and instincts. OCPAC Chairman, Charlie Meadows said, “we are looking for candidates who have an understanding of free market economics, a desire to reform and improve education, stand for Judeo/Christian values, have good communication skills, a passion to make a positive difference and are dedicated to funding the proper functions of government and leaving those things that should be done by the private sector, to the private sector.” All legislative candidates are required to fill out a 10 question survey and appear before the group for what can sometimes be a tough question and answer process before they are eligible to receive our endorsement. While speaking about why he wanted to run for the State House of Representatives Moore stated that he was a Constitutionalist, believes in limited government, and that our founding fathers had it right. Moore has a passion for Education and believes we should get back to teaching the basics of math, science, and reading. Moore also believes that cutting taxes and reducing business regulation will support economic growth. OCPAC meets every Wednesday for lunch at the Italiano’s Restaurant in Oklahoma City. With 165 dues paying membership and over 2500 people receiving the weekly e-mails, OCPAC is the largest, most active club in the state of Oklahoma supporting Republicans as well as attempting to hold elected Republicans accountable to conservative principles. |
