It looks like Kevin Stitt’s final F-you to the Oklahoma people will be making us house poor!
Late last week, while I was dealing with a very high-stress, self-inflicted case of Thundermania, KFOR’s Dylan Brown was reporting that Kevin Stitt is – once again – looking to build a brand new $6–8-million mansion for future Oklahoma governors to call home.
The only catch is that we’re still not supposed to call it a mansion.
A state commission meeting Thursday brought to light plans for a First Family Residence, a home that was planned to be built on the Governor’s Mansion grounds…
Sources close to the current ideas for the First Family Residence told News 4 that [construction is to start] in the next two to four weeks and would be built by November 2026…
Sources close to the current possible project have told News 4 that the cost could be anywhere from $5 million to $8 million.
Great stuff, huh?
When I think of all the pressing issues facing our state, from improving our education rankings to diversifying the economy to getting back the $1-million debt owed to us by CANOO, making sure our state’s first family lives in a big, nice and fancy “First Family Residence” has to be a top priority, right?
