Epic Faces More Attacks From The Swamp On Lincoln Blvd

THE EDUCATORS MAKE THEIR MOVE - ACTIONS AGAINST VIRTUAL CHARTER SCHOOLS LOOM - WAS LAST YEAR'S INVESTIGATION A HOAX?

THE WATCHMAN

Let’s face it folks. It’s the time of the year for the annual culling of legislation being offered by alleged good legislators who in reality are doing nothing more than paying back the people who paid for their campaigns. First up to get headlines were educators and former educators. What was their interest? They seem to feel that charter schools, particularly virtual charter schools are getting to much of the education dollar. That comes as no surprise. Both of the unions have been fighting against charter schools for years. They want those dollars for themselves.

We first caught wind of what was going on from this article from www.OklahomaWatch.org. We recognized a few of the names mentioned as being either educators or former educators. We really have no problem with that. It’s a noble profession.

Foreign Money In The Kendra Horn Campaign

HAS FOREIGN MONEY MADE ITS WAY INTO OKLAHOMA POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS? THE ANSWER IS YES

- THE WATCHMAN - 

We know that in today’s volatile political climate and fake news environment many good informative news articles are never reported because they don’t fit the agenda of the mainstream media. Sadly, many of those stories affect the everyday citizens such as us. These stories range from violent crimes, illegal immigrants committing crimes, politicians committing crimes and political parties committing crimes. Today we shall expose one such story and the lack of cooperation from an incumbent U. S. Representatives staff to try and resolve the matter.

We do want to be perfectly clear about one thing in this article. When the funds were accepted by the campaign committee for this representative, we have no reason to believe that they were aware of the situation. Where we have the problem is in the complete lack of concern that the campaign had over the problem.

Freedom of Information Has A Long Way To Go.

OKLAHOMA’S FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT IS THE PROPOSAL AN IMPROVEMENT, OR PROTECTIONISM?

THE WATCHMAN

  Oklahoma’s version of the Freedom of Information Act does work, although there is plenty of room for improvement. Perhaps the biggest complaint most users have, including us, is that there is no time limit placed on the responding agency to actually make a response to the request. We, as we’re sure many, people and organizations who do use the act to obtain information where initially encouraged to see legislation placing time limits for response. We then started doing some research and feel others should put a stop to this what we feel is nothing more than an attempt to keep information from the public.
