LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
48th Oklahoma Legislature
Second Session - 2002
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION
From: Lesa Borin & Carolyn
McCoy
Friday, March 1, 2002
Highlights this Week:
Several Oklahoma college
and university professors served as the members of the 2002 research team for
Oklahoma 21st Century Inc.
The team included Dr. Kent Olson and Dr. Larkin Warner from Oklahoma
State University; Dr. Robert Dauffenback and Dr. Alexander Holmes from the
University of Oklahoma; and Stephen Smith from Rose State College. The news
article below, which was released this week, highlights the report prepared by
the research team.
State Lags in Economic Growth, Report Concludes
By Bill Duncan, Staff Writer
(GIT) Oklahoma's economic growth record compares unfavorably with the rest of the nation, and particularly with some neighboring states, the Oklahoma 21st Century Inc. report for 2002 concluded.
The report was released Friday by Oklahoma 21st Century Inc., a not-for-profit organization founded in 1981. The organization is affiliated with The State Chamber, but operated under its own charter
and is governed by its own board of directors. The organization conducts and promotes research regarding the role of industry in the civic, social and cultural betterment of the state of Oklahoma.
The 2002 research team included Dr. Kent Olson, Oklahoma State University economics professor; Dr. Larkin Warner, regents professor emeritus of economics at OSU; Dr. Robert Dauffenback, professor of management information systems and director of the Center for Economic and Management Research at the University of Oklahoma; Dr. Alexander Holmes, University of Oklahoma regent's professor of economics; and Stephen Smith, Rose State College professor of economics.
The team concluded, "Oklahoma has a long history of state government involvement in economic development. It has created a variety of institutions to design economic development strategies, to provide leadership in the quest for new industries and sources of growth, and to implement a host of state development policies and programs.
"The state has also provided what appears to be significant resources to this effort in the form of tax and financial incentives to Oklahoma business firms. The state's economic growth record still compares unfavorably, however, with that of the nation in general, and some neighboring states in particular.
"This situation calls for a new examination of the institutions, resources, and outcomes of the state's economic development effort to determine how we might more effectively design our institutions and allocate our resources to produce more satisfactory outcomes," the report stated.
The report was divided into six chapters:
* Growth of the Oklahoma Economy: The Roles of Wages and Jobs;
* The Administration of State Government Promotion of Economic Development; A Historical Perspective Through 1986;
* The Administration of State Government Promotion of Economic Development: 1987-2001;
* Specialists' Views on Oklahoma State Economic Development Policy;
* Economic Development Incentives in Competing States; and
* Tax Incentives for Oklahoma Business Firms: Issues in Accountability, Targeting, and Evaluation.
The report observed that Oklahoma's per capita person income (PCPI) has fallen in relation to all of the United States since 1982. So have the PCPIs of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and New Mexico. The other two states in the region, Colorado and Texas, have grown relative to the rest of the nation. Colorado is by far the stronger performer.
The researchers cited "low wage rates across industries" as the major problem.
The report also expressed the following views of "specialists" who were interviewed:
* They underscored the importance of
traditional economic development incentives, but state policies affecting
education, transportation, and communications systems were also views as
increasingly important.
* The government's inclination to spread benefits throughout all areas of the
state, in the face of evidence that "clustering" of activities in
urban settings, is a concern.
* Concern was expressed over changes in top business leadership and economic
development marketing efforts as a result of consolidation of firms,
acquisitions by out-of-state firms, and the out-migration of central
administrative offices.
* Reservations were expressed about state government's ability to pick winners
in the economic development race. They stressed the need, instead, for the
creation of a pro-growth environment for all sectors of the economy.
* Oklahoma's tax and finance incentives for economic development are generally
believed to be competitive with other states, although some question if the
state should be a "lender of last resort" for projects that should be
funded by equity rather than debt.
* There is concern that incentives may not meet the needs of the "New
Economy," such as: "quality capital" incentives to supplement
the state's quality jobs programs; greater emphasis on assistance to small
start-up enterprises, especially in the form of local incubators; and subsidies
for technologies that may increase net output, but reduce jobs.
House Passes Internet-Broadband Regulation Bill - HB 2796 (Braddock & Case)
By Bill Duncan, Staff Writer
(GIT) A bill providing for regulation of high speed Internet access service or broadband service providers sailed through the House Monday, with very little explanation and no debate. Committee Substitute for HB 2796, by Reps. David Braddock, D-Altus, and Bill Case, R-Midwest City, passed 90-6.
The measure, which is being sought by Southwestern Bell, faced opposition from Bell competitors earlier in the House Energy and Utility Regulation Committee.
The bill provides for regulation under the Oklahoma Telecommunications Act of 1997 and requires the Corporation Commission to uniformly regulate all providers of high-speed Internet access service or broadband service.
Although drawing opposition in committee, the bill received a do pass recommendation.
