Glam Rocker to Step Down as OMES Frontman…

Wrap the solo, kill the lights and say good bye to the groupies— hair metal’s reign over Oklahoma government is coming to an end.

Earlier this week, news hit the wire that OMES director Rick Rose — the former lead singer of OKC glam metal act Erotic Suicide — will be stepping down from the agency amidst, surprise surprise, political controversy.

According to TLO super-fan Barbara “Babylon” Hoberock, Rose’s resignation comes just one week after Attorney General Drummond sent Governor Stitt a letter demanding he remove Rose from office.

I guess Gentner sent some purchasing requests through the OMES bureaucracy, and instead of fulfilling them like they’re supposed to, the agency – at the alleged behest of Stitt – ignored the requests and instead questioned the AG’s office spending.
