Oklahoma Attorney General and announced gubernatorial candidate Gentner Drummond in a media release today blasted recent vetoes by Gov. Stitt, including measures he asserted would strengthen public safety, improve government transparency and accountability, and  force health insurance companies to cover mammograms. All passed the Legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support — reflecting the will of everyday Oklahomans Drummond asserted in remarkably robust language.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, not shy in his own defense, maintains an ongoing list of vetoes available online that were also undated today and are included here at the end of Drummond’s rant.

OKLAHOMA CITY – As the 60th Oklahoma Legislature begins to wind down its session ending May 30, 2025, citizens across the state are drawn to the Oklahoma State Capitol, eager to witness the crucible of democracy: committee meetings where bills on education, criminal justice, and economic policy are forged. For Oklahomans, access to these proceedings, whether in person or online, is not just a convenience but a fundamental right, a cornerstone of individual liberty. Yet, in Oklahoma, this right is constrained by a legislative system that wields near-unchecked control over public access, rooted in a constitutional exemption that prioritizes institutional prerogative over the people’s freedom to engage with their government.

When an organization only achieves a 20% success rate, drastic change has to happen. Trinity Strategic Wealth would be out of business if only 20% of our clients were satisfied with their financial progress.

Yet, for our shared Oklahoma enterprise of 500+ schools districts, where only 20% of 8th graders can read proficiently, there is no accountability nor consequences for abject failure.
