Hoftmeister's Scandals

JOY HOFMEISTER AND
THE SCANDALED STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
THE WATCHMAN


  To no one's surprise, the Superintendent of Education drew a few challengers for her seat and the potential of unseating her is still a real possibility. The scandal plagued Department of Education even at one time had the Superintendent charged with felony campaign finance regulations. That is not the only scandal that transpired during her administration. We would have been shocked if she didn't have a rival. As it currently stands, she faces a run-off election for her position in August.

  What brought our attention to this story was this article from the MusgokeePolitical.com site. After the criminal case against her was dismissed, she still received enough votes to face a run-off against a challenger. The charges, though dismissed at this time, are still under investigation by the Oklahoma County District Attorney's office.

GOP Picks Worst Candidates


THE PRIMARY IS OVER, AND ONCE AGAIN
THE GOP HAS PICKED THE WORST CANDIDATES
THE WATCHMAN
The primary results are in and we know that a lot of candidates were disappointed at the returns. We would never have guessed the run-off election would be between a real estate executive with a shady pass and the former television reporter and former Mayor of Oklahoma City. We can only speculate as to why, and we are not in the business of speculating about elections.
We've already focused on one of the candidates and now we'll show you what information is available on former Mayor Mick Cornett. One candidate appears to buy the election with his ample wealth while the other candidate is running on having a fourteen-year history of a balanced budget. Well he's required to have a balanced budget. So are our legislators, but the never seem to have enough money in the coffers to balance it without loans and tax increases.
The first item we found was this article from the MusgokeeePolitical.com. There is a mention of the two remaining candidates having issues and we concur with the statement. We would encourage you to open the link and read it for yourself. It's a very informative article.

Pfeiffer Get's Exposed

INCUMBENT LEGISLATOR RUNS AS A CONSERVATIVE
YET HIS VOTING RECORD SAYS DIFFEREENT
THE WATCHMAN
It never fails to have Liberal Republicans run as Conservative during each election. We have again found another incumbent liberal Republican running for re-election in his district. We all know that politicians shade the truth on their about their true political believes, but we fail to see how anyone that votes for a tax hike can call themselves a Conservative. This is doubly troubling when a half billion in new taxes are placed on the backs of the working class when they leave tax credits to corporations practically untouched.

What started our interest in this report an article in the MusgokeePolitico.com. It seems that he is going to face a runoff in his campaign to keep his seat. All of his campaign literature is showing that he is claiming to be a conservative, yet he has voted to increase taxes that made it to the floor of the house over these last two years. It appears that he has it that the Republican Party is the party of lower taxes and less government. It also appears that he knows little about the states Constitution or chooses to ignore it. If he did, he would realize that him as well as all the elected officials in the state have been in violation of the Oklahoma State Constitution since 1994. That would make this and all other elected positions in the state illegitimate.
