We found another German thing Ryan Walters likes – the Autobahn!
Earlier this week, Oklahoma Voice published the findings of an open records investigation into a mysterious state vehicle linked to Ryan Walters and one of his staffers, some dude named Joseph Porter.
According to the report, a Suburban registered to Porter made over 140 stops from the Oklahoma State Department of Education to Ryan Walters’s home, along with regular stops at Walmart, CVS, and a hair salon. They also took trips to Texas that coincided with Walters-linked political travel.
The whole pattern led to two assumptions: 1. Ryan was using the vehicle for personal travel — which likely violates state law, or 2. Porter was spending way, way, way too much time running errands and creepily hanging out at his boss’s house.
Whatever the answer, it’s weird and, like most things involving Walters, doesn’t smell right.
By Nuria Martinez-Keel, https://t.co/0VINOCT9Km: During Walters’ final weeks as state superintendent, the Education Department denied he had a state-owned vehicle, and the agency therefore refused to provide records of his vehicle usage to Oklahoma Voice. https://t.co/FbkHjgToaI
