Gentner Drummond: “I respect the governor. I respect the position. I do believe he gets bad advice.”

After reviewing footage from law enforcement body cameras, it is clear that Secretary of State Ben Lepak was thoroughly inebriated and very likely lied to law enforcement about how much he had to drink and how he and his car both arrived…

The public interest lies in enforcing Oklahoma’s nuisance and environmental laws, protecting the health of Inola families and preserving the livestock economy and natural resources of the region.

Given the fact that Mr. Lepak had been arrested just a few years ago after being found unconscious in a running vehicle, Gov. Stitt should have known better than to elevate him to such a senior leadership position.

We have well-qualified men and women out there that just simply can’t afford to run, or they run, and when you have to put in more money to be competitive, they don’t have the ability to, therefore, they drop out.
