I was reading this Norman Transcript story today and noticed that two legislators from Southwest Oklahoma want the watermelon to be the state vegetable. Here's how it reads as written up by CNHI Capitol reporter Jaclyn Houghton:
* House Bill 1669, authored by Sen. Don Barrington, R-Lawton; and Rep. Joe Dorman, D-Rush Springs; passed out of the Senate General Government Committee with a 10-0 vote. The bill would designate watermelon as the state’s official vegetable.
--END--
I had no idea Oklahoma did not have an official state vegetable. Watermelons are terrific and make for a top-notch choice. Good job Sen. Barrington and Rep. Dorman.
