| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Olene Smith Walker. “I was focused on getting these initiatives accomplished or at least started sufficiently that they would happen. I saw that as the major role rather than being political. There is a difference because if you really are in the political arena with the attempt to make certain or hope to be elected, you have to do the things that in people’s eyes are positives. I was doing some things that were absolutely necessary but weren’t all positives—especially with tax policy. They were a wise decision for the long run.” |
