Ideas from Ardmore

Ardmore IdeaRaiser, June 5, 2007

Ideas submitted at the recent IdeaRaiser in Ardmore were intriguing and thought-provoking. We want to know what you think about a few of them. So let us know what you think!

The first idea is to consolidate area state-universities (such as Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Northeastern State University, etc.) into satellite campuses of our state's largest schools: the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.

The second idea is to create a cabinet level position for a new department: the Department of Aging. This department would bring senior citizen's issues to the forefront of Oklahoma governing affairs.

The third idea is to pass a law banning trans fats from being used in all restaurants and fast-food venues.
