I am back in the groove this morning, one week after having back surgery last Monday.

Halito,
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July. The day was beautiful, and it helped make the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary truly memorable.
Great meeting with tax director
By Rep. Rick West
We had a great meeting last week with Doug Linehan, the executive director of the Oklahoma Tax Commission. We had 28 attendees. He spent more than an hour speaking and answering questions from individuals about their taxes and returns and from tax preparers. He explained where the agency was when he took the job as director, where they are now and where he hopes to go in the future.
Brecheen votes against debt spending
By Congressman JOSH BRECHEEN
On Wednesday, I voted “no” on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2027. While I support providing for a robust national defense, I could not in good conscience vote for this legislation as it authorizes a $263.4 billion (29.6 percent) increase over the authorized level for the previous fiscal year. Looking to history, we know that once a level of spending is authorized, appropriators will rarely provide less funding than the maximum allowed. Furthermore, departmental funding baselines almost never decrease over time.
