- Why this should be so - Oklahoman's are more inherently sexist? Or women are more criminally oriented Why this is the case
- What her organization can do to help Oklahoma improve its ranking
- With economic downturn we are experiencing, how we can expect to get additional resources to try to meet some of these problems her organization addresses
