In an interview with Vote411.org, Staab made the following statements:[5]
State budgets and fiscal policy
- Excerpt: "If the legislature's goal is to shrink the size of government, the preferred method would be to cut and eliminate specific programs and only cut revenues when a surplus exists. The majority of voters that I talk with in my walks of the District 39 neighborhoods think that revenues have been cut more than is prudent and that priority programs are being diminished."
- Excerpt: "With revenue shortfalls projected several years into the future, the legislature for the 2017 session must come ready with ideas to eliminate more tax expenditures including tax credits and exemptions. I would carefully look at each of these revenue expenditures and eliminate or reduce wherever possible."
Education
- Excerpt: "I believe that the legislature needs to work on the school funding formula. The allocation of State Department of Education funds to the various school districts should be reviewed and made explainable to the citizens of Oklahoma."
- Excerpt: "In addition, we need to do more to educate and retain Oklahoma teachers. The fact that we had over 1000 emergency certified teachers in 2015 suggests that we need to do a better job of keeping our 'teacher pipeline' full. Building the supply of teachers may include tuition reimbursement programs to encourage college students to take education classes as well as higher starting salaries for college grads. Even students that have a passion for the teaching profession have a hard time choosing an education degree program in college if they have to invest over $100,000 and four years of college to earn a $34,000 per year opportunity upon graduation."
Incarceration
- Excerpt: "The 2016 legislative session has made some progress in Criminal Justice Reform. Our legislature has passed bills that change minimum sentencing requirements, allow for more community sentencing options, and provide for work release programs to offset jail times. These changes should be positive in terms of reducing overall incarceration rates."
- Excerpt: "I believe that an improved economy and enhancements to the education systems can further reduce Oklahoma's incarceration rates. We can do more to improve the environment for business and encourage more manufacturing operations to develop in Oklahoma. With our abundant natural gas and natural gas liquids resources, low cost power and educated work force, Oklahoma will able to attract chemical and plastics industries and more companies like Google to Oklahoma if we have the vision to enact policies to support the needs of these industries."
