MEET THE GOVERNOR

‍

Oklahomans,

Our people are the heart and strength of our state.

This is why my administration has made it a priority to get outside of the State Capitol and into your communities through what we are calling our Top Ten Cabinet Tour.

At each stop on the Top Ten Cabinet Tour we are meeting with Oklahomans, listening to their ideas and concerns, and seeing firsthand the exciting things going on in their cities and towns.

So far, we have traveled to Woodward and Owasso to share our progress in delivering government accountability, recruiting new jobs to diversify our economy, and generating innovative solutions to address key issues like healthcare and a quality public education.

We have also spent time touring businesses, organizations, and groups that are investing in their communities and positively impacting our state, such as Women in Recovery, Owasso FFA, and the Woodward Deepwater Chemicals plant.

My administration is committed to delivering a Top Ten state, but this is only possible when we are all working together toward a shared vision to see Oklahoma celebrated as one of the best states in the nation.

The next stop on our tour is taking us to McAlester on November 14!

Keep an eye out for more details on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and join us as we work to make Oklahoma a Top Ten state!

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Governor J. Kevin Stitt

CASINO INDUSTRY NEGOTIATIONS

Fifteen years ago, the citizens of Oklahoma approved State Question 712, and the Oklahoma Legislature passed laws permitting the state to enter into gaming “compacts” with the federally recognized Indian tribes located in Oklahoma. The agreements between the state and the tribes giving them exclusivity to the gaming industry are, however, terminating as of Jan. 1, 2020, and it is imperative that we come to terms on new compacts prior to the end of the year.

Governor Stitt is committed to reaching new agreements with our tribal partners that recognize their historic and significant economic contributions to Oklahoma and provide a framework for them to have even more continued economic growth in the years ahead. He is equally committed to representing Oklahomans in a manner that reflects the current fair-market contribution to the growth of the gaming industry and puts all parties in a position to achieve new heights of success for today’s citizens and future generations of Oklahomans.

GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY

A Stitt administration will demand accountability in our state government and get to the bottom of every tax dollar spent. In order to accomplish this, we will work to ensure every dollar matches the value and vision of Oklahoma becoming a Top Ten state. We will bring Oklahoma fully into the digital age to maximize our services while creating an efficient process that allows us to do it at the lowest possible cost.

However, we can only guarantee such accountability when state agencies understand that they exist to serve and answer to the people of Oklahoma. We need to change how Oklahoma’s 400 agencies and commissions are comprised. We will work with the legislature in order to deliver needed oversight measures; we will put Oklahoma’s checkbook online; we will audit every state agency; and we will deliver Oklahomans the transparency that they deserve.
