It still pays well to be a good ol’ boy in Oklahoma!
According to Oklahoma Voice, Mike Sanders – the former lawmaker that Kevin Stitt strong-armed into the position of Oklahoma Broadband Office Director over a more qualified candidate – was recently awarded a big, fat $16,000 pay raise, bumping his annual salary from $180,000 to $201,175.
The raise – which seems excessive based on Sanders’s qualifications, experience, and the fact he’s only been on the job for about a year – was approved by the Broadband Board that Stitt appointed. The move reeks of cronyism, grifting, and all the other things the Kevin Stitt administration is known for.
