Many members of this Trump bunch who hang out at the Capitol – on your dime for four months every year – are so proud of their policies, programs and plans for our state they want to keep their identity secret.
So did many members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Not that I’m drawing a linkage between the beliefs and priorities of the two organizations … but you can.
This crowd thinks our abortion policies are not punitive enough; that most any tax is a bad and wasteful tax unless it goes to some multi-national corporation looking for a corporate handout; that who pees in which school bathroom deserves 50 bills filed by lawmakers while at the same time they could care less about the fact that Oklahoma is ranked 50th in school quality.
In a related mattered filing for public office is coming up at the capitol April 1-3. Most all of the members of the Legislature’s secret society will probably file for office again, win again and continue their work to make Oklahoma the political laughingstock of America.
However, their alleged leader, Sen. Shane Jett, R-Shawnee, is term-limited but that doesn’t mean he’s going away. He’ll run for some office because getting paid for being the gadfly he has become is too sweet a deal to easily give up. And I knew this young man when he made a lot of sense and had a bright future in elected office.
Don’t know when he got kicked in the head or some other traumatic event that has led him to end up being our state’s clone of Cleta Deatherage but that’s another whole story all by itself.
