It seems a campaign ad for Gov. Kevin Stitt’s re-election campaign has caught the attention of the Oklahoma County District Attorney.
The Associated Press’ Sean Murphy writes DA David Prater has launched an investigation into the TV ad after a bi-partisan group of House legislators suggested it violates state law.
The campaign says the ad was reviewed by an attorney who said it was legal.
At issue is the inclusion of Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor, who is running to be elected to the office.
Nancy Sue (Maltby) Endecott passed away May 27, 2022, at her home in El Reno. She was born Jan. 6, 1937, at her parents home on their farm in Billings, with the help of a midwife.

The Joint Committee on Pandemic Relief Funding has approved six proposals to use American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.

Some 30 years ago, I wrote in this newspaper what a clown Vice President Dan Quayle was for saying a television program could have a negative influence on our culture.
At the time, Quayle took the popular TV show “Murphy Brown” to task for the main character celebrating that she was giving birth to a child that would have no relationship with his or her father.
Dan Quayle. What a moron. How could television or the media have a negative impact on our culture?
