Education meeting features legislators

State Senators Clark Jolly and Susan Paddack, along with State Representatives Scott Martin and Scott Inman addressed questions posed to them by the Parent Legislative Action Committee in a panel Tuesday in Edmond.

PLAC organizers, including parents and educators, synthesized all their complaints into a simple two part problem and then formulated four questions to the legislators most involved in education appropriations.

"We were able to wrap our hands around two major issues that we are seeing in our classroom and it boiled down to there’s too little funding and too much testing in our classrooms," said Meredith Exline, PLAC organizer. "Our goal at the PLAC is to educate parents and patrons in a nonpartisan way on what is happening at a legislative level."

New locally owned MWC pizzeria aims to please

Those who insult the millennial generation for their do nothing attitude need to ignore the college students who opened their own business on Air Depot Blvd.

Pizza Depot, located at 1120 S. Air Depot, is a brand new non-chain pizza place that plans to rival national competitors on cost and taste.

Owner Aubrey Long is currently a business student at the University of Oklahoma. He opened the store with some friends in the area with approx. $30 thousand.

"We opened at the beginning of September. It took a few months to get everything going and it’s still in its infant stages. We just decided to open it and see what happens."
