Deception and cover up are the shields of financial wrong doing.

The right to know is the only dependable defense protecting the public against financial wrong doing.

State officials using that which is only found acceptable for reasons of national security are denying the public the right to know where $100s of millions of funding is going, and who is benefiting. This act provides the cover to hide involvement in a program that it is "not illegal" for state officials and friends to reap millions in unearned profits while returning nothing of value.

The Cover Up

Capital Formation Incentive Act, Section 1. AMENDATORY 68 O.S. 2001, Section 205, as last amended by Section 1, Chapter 375, O.S.L. 2005 (68 O.S. Supp. 2005, Section 205), is amended to read as follows:
