Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) signed a measure giving teachers a $6,100 pay raise and then told CBS News their demands were like those of a teenager.
Said Fallin: “Teachers want more. But it’s like kind of having a teenage kid that wants a better car.”

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) said that Donald Trump is “trying to campaign as a racial healer,” Politico reports.
Said Fallin: “I think that has been part of his message, if you watch what he said this week, you know he talked about how devastating it was for Dallas, how we need to respect our law enforcement, how we need to pray for those who are killed and those who are injured. I think that is his intent; I trust him with his words, and I think we all need to move towards being compassionate, loving, healing, but yet also respecting our law enforcement.”
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) revealed that “several of her adult children are living at the Governor’s mansion,” KFOR-TV reports.
“In the case of the governor’s 28-year-old daughter, she’s actually driven a travel trailer onto the property for a place to stay.”
