Good morning, Norman.
🏛️ Government
Lawmakers are negotiating a Senate reconciliation bill that may cut Medicaid funds—these cuts could impact Oklahoma's rural hospitals and lead to a discussion of a proposed stabilization fund.
The DoD is also considering canceling the E-7 Wedgetail program, a move local leaders oppose because it is key for national defense and the local economy.

Gov. Stitt and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—leading the push—directed state agencies to remove the dyes while Sen. Kristen Thompson plans summer meetings with health experts to craft updated legislation.
