You can give your money to the state of Oklahoma, or you can give your money to the school of your choice and receive a state tax credit.

That was the message presented recently at an event hosted by Sacred Heart Catholic School.

The small El Reno school that reopened in the 1990s after closing in the 1960s has 112 students, said longtime Principal Shannon Statton. This year, 33 of those students are receiving tuition assistance through the Tax Credit Scholarship Program.

Newly-elected El Reno Mayor Steve Jensen mugs for the camera with Oklahoma City Thunder mascot Rumble the Bison during the recent El Reno Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting.

Jensen joked with the mascot, saying he would give him the key to the city, but all the locks may have been changed.

Oklahoma’s U.S. senators were not among the Republicans who supported the U.S. Senate passing the Respect for Marriage Act.

The measure includes protections for same-sex marriages. While it passed by a vote of 61 to 36, Sens. Jim Inhofe and James Lankford voted against the bill.
