Three state representatives and a well-regarded Oklahoma economist are gathering tonight in OKC to answer questions about the state's economy and budget.

StateImpact is in Oklahoma City tonight to lead a discussion on the state budget and economy.

It’s our second stop. The first event was Monday night, and the Tulsa crowd was riled up and ready for some answers about state spending.

We’ve got three lawmakers and an economist on tap for tonight’s event, which starts at 7 p.m. at OETA in N.E. Oklahoma City.

It’s a town hall-style forum and the lawmakers will be talking about spending priorities for the upcoming legislative session, so come put your mouth where your tax money is.
