WASHINGTON – As gas prices in Oklahoma soared to record highs this week, Oklahoma’s junior senator joined fellow Republican senators challenging the White House for its response to the energy crisis.
Average prices jumped above $4 for the first time in this energy-rich state. Oklahoma was one of only three states that managed to stay below $4 until last week.
Many factors have led to these skyrocketing prices, and Republican senators demand a change to be made in order to pull the country out of this crisis.

A Small Town Weekend expanding its reach
Kay Holbrook never intended to write a book. But she did. And in the process, she’s felt a healing and maybe a closeness develop with people she has never met and may never know.
These are the people, adults as well as children, who, for whatever reason, feel at times in their life like they have been left out or overlooked.
She's hoping her book, “Chocolate Cake With Stinky Sardines” will help young girls see themselves as needed, wanted and loved.
