AARP Oklahoma issued official statements regarding Oklahoma Corporation Commission administrative law judges’ recent recommendations on Public Service of Oklahoma (PSO) and Oklahoma Gas & Electric’s (OG&E) recent requests to raise utility costs. AARP Oklahoma believes the recommendations will negatively impact PSO and OG&E customers and put further financial pressure on older Oklahomans on fixed incomes. Recent polling indicates older Oklahomans share in those concerns.
Forty-seven Native American elders from 23 Oklahoma tribal nations were recognized virtually at the 13th annual AARP Oklahoma Indian Elder Honors event on November 12, 2021. Honorees were selected based on their achievements, community service and impact.
