The three said they either opposed the tax increases in it or that reforms were needed instead.  State Auditor Gary Jones said he would have signed the bill.  And Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett just said his administration would not have been in this situation.

Democratic candidates Drew Edmondson and Connie Johnson haven't weighed in on the pay raises, but in the past have stated their support for the teacher walkout.
