If you notice any DHS employees coasting around in roller skates asking welfare recipients if they want extra ketchup, napkins or peppermints, I guess this will help explain why.
Over the weekend, The Oklahoman reported that Kevin Stitt plans to name John Budd, an executive from Sonic, as his new C.O.O.
Here are the details via NewsOK.com:
Gov.-elect Kevin Stitt plans to hire a Sonic Corp. executive as his chief operating officer, a new position he has created to oversee agency accountability reforms that will be central to his agenda.
John Budd, the chief development and strategy officer at the Oklahoma City-based fast food company, has accepted the position, according to multiple sources.
Stitt's office is expected to announce Budd's hire this week.
Stitt ran as an outsider, and said he was going to turn to the private sector to bring "fresh ideas" to state government. Plus, the guy is a huge fan of footlong coneys and nugget ice, so you can't fault him for sticking to his tater tots on this.
