Earlier today, with the hot, sweltering moans and groans from people in Tulsa growing louder and louder, The Oklahoman’s Dale Denwalt hit up Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell to find out why Stitt’s personal Number One was dragging his feet on issuing an emergency declaration for northeastern Oklahoma.
It's a fair question to ask.
At last check, the area is still dealing with storm damage, power outages and gas shortages as a result of this past weekend’s weather, and with Governor Stitt living the good life at an airshow in Paris, those bothersome executive branch duties now fall into Pinnell's lap.
