NBA stat of the day #354:
Exactly 33 years ago MJ and Scottie became the first and only teammates to ever get at least 30pts/1stl/1blk and 1 or fewer TOVs on 65% TS
Today, Shai and Jalen Willians became the 2nd. And the first on 35+ pts
Historic game for the Thunder duo

Hard to believe it's already been 5 years since we closed down the capitol for a week to make the electrical switch over to new equipment. This event required months of planning to relocate agencies and ensure the safety of all involved.

108 years ago today, over 5,000 people showed up in an empty field to watch the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Oklahoma Capitol. The pickax that Gov. Cruce used is on display at the State Capitol Museum located on the ground floor.

Nice article from @benfelder_okc about the Capitol dome. I had a chance to dispel a couple myths about why the dome wasn't built when the building was constructed.

Happy 105th birthday to the Oklahoma State Capitol! The Capitol was completed on June 30, 1917, one month ahead of schedule. It was constructed by James Stewart and Co. and designed by Solomon A. Layton and S. Wemyss Smith.

Huge thank you to @RepMarkMcBride and @OkSenThompson for passing the bond measures to restore Jim Thorpe Office Building and the Capitol Complex tunnels. Both were influential during @CapitolRestore and continue to preserve Oklahoma's historical properties.

I was pleased to take part in the unveiling ceremony last week for the new painting entitled The Seminole Oil Boom. The painting was sponsored by former Rep. Weldon Watson and will hang in the Capitol.
