Governor Leaving the Dark (Money) Side?

   Wow! I never thought I would see pigs fly, but the governor may be leaving the dark money side for greener pastures - but I'm certainly not referring to the governor as a pig. Governor Fallin has always touted lower taxes for Oklahomans as a way to improve the economy, but recently has been advocating higher taxes as the only way to prevent state agency destruction. The dark side is composed of corporatists (lawmakers who want to choke state agencies, and dark money groups which provide support to lawmakers), who are adamently opposed to balancing the state budget on the backs of billionaires. Governor Fallin even attempted embarrassment as a way to get the corporatist lawmakers off their duff to provide a balanced state budget, during last week's press conference. Who really knows if this tactic will work, as most corporatists do not feel embarrassment, when money is involved.
