Yesterday, Governor Kevin Stitt's quest to make sure Oklahoman's can't collect unemployment during a global pandemic took another turn as the Oklahoma Supreme Court essentially blocked a lower court's ruling for the state to resume payments.
According to KOKH, this is a win for Stitt, which I guess makes it a loss for the Oklahoma people:
Win for Gov. Stitt: OK Supreme Court halts reinstatement of federal unemployment payments
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has granted the state's motion to stay in a court proceeding that will decide the future of federal unemployment payments in Oklahoma.
The state has appealed a lower court's decision to reinstate federal unemployment payments. That appeal will be allowed to move through the court system without the reinstatement of federal unemployment payments.
Once the case has made its way through the court system, the justices will decide whether or not the state had the authority to stop the federal unemployment payments.
