Clinton girls golf wins regional championship

With the final regular season meet of the year, the Clinton track teams left Weatherford Tuesday winners, as the boys’ team took home the gold with a score of 100, 14 points over second place, and the girls’ team finished fifth with a score of 45 for the day.

Dear Doctors: I can’t stop thinking about what my doctor said when I got my flu shot last fall. I’m a 55-yearold man, and I have a history of high blood pressure. He said the flu shot will give me extra protection against having a heart attack. What is the connection?

With less than six weeks remaining in this year’s legislative session, we’re heavily focused on crafting the state budget for Fiscal Year 2025. The House of Representatives recently released their budget proposal, and the Senate Appropriations Committee met to compare state agency budgets within each chamber’s figures. Those numbers that match will be set aside so we can focus on reviewing and negotiating the funding that we are not currently in agreement on. The final budget numbers will also take into account the grocery tax cut that was passed earlier this year. While providing Oklahomans with much-needed relief, this cut does result in a loss of revenues in some areas, so we must account for that as we consider what other appropriations we will make this year.
