Just before Christmas, Congress passed and the President signed into law a tax reform bill that makes major improvements to our tax code. It’s only been two months, but tax reform is already working for Oklahomans. Many companies across the nation a...

A recent op-ed in The Hill and New York Times report both bemoaned the loss of the Justice Department’s so-called “Access to Justice” (A2J) office. Despite the office’s stated mission to “deliver outcomes that are fair and accessible to all,” the...
