OKLAHOMA CITY – Parents of children killed by a vicious tornado that hit Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore last year helped to gather more than 100,000 signatures to put an initiative on the November ballot that, if approved by voters, would ensure the state’s 1,800 school buildings are equipped with storm shelters, NBC reports.

The plan, proposed by Take Shelter Oklahoma, would allow schools to use $40 million to $50 million in annual revenue generated from a reinstated business tax to pay for the construction of storm shelters or to fortify existing buildings.

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, however, rewrote the ballot language to emphasize the business tax, a move which many believe will turn voters away from the initiative.

“It was biased, misleading and confusing to the voters,” Take Shelter Oklahoma attorney David Slane said of the revised ballot language. “These were really good people trying to do this. You had parents and teachers and educators from all over the state that got involved.”

Take Shelter Oklahoma filed a lawsuit in an attempt to reverse the rewrite, but the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled recently that Pruitt was within his authority to change the language, according to the news site.

The group must now decide whether to rewrite their proposal and collect another 155,000 signatures, though there’s still the possibility of Pruitt editing the wording of the ballot proposal again.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, meanwhile, has proposed her own solution: allow local school districts to raise taxes to pay for their own storm shelters, if they so choose, NBC reports.

“If you are in a part of the state that already has a storm shelter, you’re essentially subsidizing everyone else’s construction. There’s an issue of fairness,” Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz told NBC. “Is it fair for one school to build a gigantic gymnasium that also happens to be rated as a safe room?”

Fallin’s Democratic challenger in the upcoming gubernatorial election contends “the governor’s plan is completely unrealistic.”

“It’s a solution that’s really not a solution,” state Rep. Joe Dorman, Fallin’s challenger, told NBC.

Danni Legg, a mother of one of the victims at Plaza Towers last year seems to agree with Dorman. Moore school officials had the opportunity to fortify the district’s schools after a tornado hit in 1999, but failed to act. If they had, it may have prevented many deaths.

Legg spent the last year collecting signatures at high school football games to put the initiative on the ballot and she’s willing to do it again, if necessary, she told NBC.

“It hasn’t gotten done in the last 13 years, and now I have a brother and a sister without their brother because of it,” said Legg, who has two children who survived last year’s tornado.
