Stillwater is hosting the third and final state budget forum, which includes a panel of Republican and Democrat lawmakers, an economist, and reporters from StateImpact and KOSU.<\/p>\n<\/div>

StateImpact Oklahoma\u2019s three-city state budget roadshow<\/a> wraps up tonight in Stillwater.<\/p>

Oklahoma\u2019s legislative session starts Monday, and tonight\u2019s town hall-style forum might be the last chance you have to weigh-in \u2014 in person \u2014 on your lawmakers\u2019 state budget priorities.<\/p>

The 6:30 p.m. Stillwater event is unlike the forums we held in Tulsa<\/a> and Oklahoma City<\/a>: Both parties and both houses will be represented tonight, and we\u2019ve got an expert on the state\u2019s agricultural economy on hand to talk about the (often sad<\/a>) evolution of rural Oklahoma.<\/p>

Oh, and pizza.<\/p>

<\/p>

The central question to be discussed tonight, according to<\/a> OSU\u2019s The Daily O\u2019Collegian:<\/p>\n
