It’s amazing the lengths people will go to to deny deep-seated social and socioeconomic problems in this state for purely political reasons. Why not simply acknowledge that the problems do indeed exist instead of trying to deflect and gaslight?

The principal fact is that Oklahoma’s population would NOT have grown over the last decade were it not for OKC’s, and to a lesser extent, Tulsa’s growth. So you could throw up an argument that Oklahoma is growing, but you would be doing so without context.

Not really. Most of the growth is from people within the state leaving rural areas for the closest urban center, not people leaving a high tax state and flooding into Oklahoma.
