Oklahoma Policy Institute (OK Policy) is committed to advancing policies aimed at alleviating poverty, promoting fiscal responsibility, and expanding economic opportunity. To that end, OK Policy conducts objective analysis of state policy issues in order to better position Oklahoma to become a more prosperous, better educated, healthier, and increasingly equitable state.
