The governor's State of the State address before the Oklahoma Legislature is this coming Monday.  Governor Mary Fallin has already stated the budget will be a top priority during her annual address on the first day of the legislative session.

In an exclusive News On 6 poll earlier this month, 32 percent of people say the economy and employment are their greatest concerns. Another 17 percent say education funding is the biggest problem. Illegal immigration, healthcare costs and repairing roads and bridges round out the top five.

There's a good chance Fallin will speak on most of those topics during her speech on Monday.

Following her address, the second session of the 55th Oklahoma Legislature gets underway. This session will be the last for about one-third of the 149 members who are either term limited or who have chosen to not seek re-election this year.  

Lawmakers say over 3,400 bills await action by the legislature during this session.

News On 6/News 9 will have full coverage of the State of the State on Monday.  You can watch Governor Mary Fallin's speech live on NewsOn6.com and News9.com.
