  Oklahoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oklahoma is bounded on the east by Arkansas and Missouri, on the north by Kansas and northwest by Colorado (both at 37°N), on the far west by New Mexico (at 103°W), and on the south and near-west by Texas.
Oklahoma's natural terrain is very diverse, ranging from oak and hickory mixed forest in the wetter eastern part of the state, to the post oak and fljack oak savannah territory of the Cross Timbers, to the plains and semi-arid regions of western Oklahoma and the panhandle.
Oklahoma City is the principal economic engine of the state, centered on the finance, retail, governance, entertainment, and tourism sectors.

 OKHighways.com -- OK 99
OK 99 is one of Oklahoma's longest state highways; to be more precise, it is the fourth longest state highway in Oklahoma, and the longest north-south highway.
Not only that, but after entering Kansas, the highway is KS 99 from the Kansas State Line to the Nebraska State Line, and after entering Nebraska, the highway becomes NE 99 from the Nebraska State Line to just north of Burchard, NE, a distance of about 14 miles in the home of the Cornhuskers.
OK 99 enters the state duplexed with U.S. 377, and that is the case for its first 140 miles until its junction at Interstate 44.

 OklahomaState.com your source for Oklahoma State!
The name Oklahoma comes from two Choctaw Indian words, okla, which means "people," and humma, which means "red." In 1889, Congress opened up 2 million acres for white settlement (it was previously open only to Native Americans who were forced to leave their homelands), and the first of a number of land runs began.
Some of the state's settlers were called "Sooners" because they had already staked their land claims before the land was officially opened for settlement.
Oklahoma was admitted as the 46th state in 1907.

 Beware highway contractors pushing fuel tax increases - Oklahoma (state news) Transportation - OK Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
The highway industry is back to its deceptive PR campaigns to get fuel tax funds into their own pockets.
By the end of the 1990s, truck volume on Oklahoma highways was growing at over 45% a year.
Most state diesel fuel taxation should probably be replaced with a "weight-distance fee." This is a proven method in which all trucks crossing the state would be weighed in, weighed out and charged daily for that weight over the distance it was moved using transponders similar to the Turnpike Authority's "PikePass."

 Shawnee News-Star: Central Oklahoma's #1 news source! Experts says state at electric deregulation 'crossroads' 12/07/01
A $619 million upgrade of the state's electric transmission system is needed as Oklahoma prepares to deregulate its electric utilities, a power producer said.
Mize, whose company is building several gas-fired electric power plants in the state, said the upgrades could be paid for by tapping into new transmission revenues, issuing tax-exempt state revenue bonds and by providing more economic incentives to transmission owners.
A study commissioned by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission found that Oklahoma would face an electricity glut if the state's power grid is not upgraded to permit the export of electricity to other states.

This bill guarantees all donor states a rate of return of at least 95 percent, and the average rate of return for Oklahoma will be just over 95 percent.
