| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Olene Smith Walker. “I believe it was in 1985 that I ran across an article about establishing an education rainy day fund so that it preserves the revenues in good times and gets the state through the negative downturns. I decided that may be the answer. I got a Rainy Day Fund written and they worked on it and it covered most areas and situations and what could be taken and what couldn’t. As a result, I had the bill. I got it through the House that first year.” |
