It looks like those pesky "self-deserving" Democrats aren’t the only thing that grinds the gears of Grady County District 2 Commissioner Kirk Painter!
He's apparently not a fan of Oklahoma’s open meetings laws, either!
We know this thanks to a video of a recent Grady County Commissioners Board Meeting that a few Ogle Moles sent our way.
During a meeting on June 24th, Grady County District 1 Commissioner Zachary Davis – a rare Oklahoma politician with ethics and values – confronted both Painter and District 3 Commissioner Gary Bray, accusing the duo of regularly meeting in private to discuss county business, and develop an agenda item that would fleece District 1 of valuable road funding.
If Davis’s accusations are valid, it would mean Painter and Bray committed misdemeanors and violated the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act – a law that states county business must occur in a publicly accessible setting with proper notice.
You know, to avoid secrecy and potential misconduct.
