Oklahoma lawmakers returning to the Capitol in February, 2017, will face some familiar problems: crowded public schools with teachers desperate for a pay raise, overcrowded prisons and dozens of other cash-strapped agencies that have cut services to the bone. But also staring them in the face will be a hole in the budget estimated to be nearly $870 million, or about 12 percent of state spending, resulting from slumping energy prices and years of tax cuts.
