OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Democratic Leader Kay Floyd released the following statement after Tuesday’s Senate passage of SB 1125, the budget bill for Fiscal Year 2025.

“For years, Senate Democrats have advocated for a more transparent, inclusive budget process. This session, we saw marked improvements in transparency, yet the process still lacked inclusiveness and bipartisanship.

“A flat budget does not create solutions to the growing challenges we face. A bipartisan budget would have provided more funding for our schools, health and mental health care, and other critical services, putting people over politics.” – Senate Democratic Leader Kay Floyd, D-Oklahoma City.
