If the Oklahoma Legislature wants to keep funding critical services like education, public safety and infrastructure, Gov. Mary Fallin says lawmakers should work with her to come up with permanent ways to fund those priorities. McCall said his 75-member Republican caucus will be open to looking at ways to generate revenue, especially with strong support to increase teacher pay for the first time since 2008. But he said many of his members will be wary of tax increases. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)
