The last 24 hours have been a flurry of spontainious and unscripted moves from several political dialogues. It appears to have been started with a social media video from Tulsa's former federal prosecutor, Gary Richardson. Gary is widely assumed to be running for governor.
And so is Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb.... So Todd Lamb decided the time is right for his own act of defiance. He resigned his auxiliary role in the Mary Fallin cabinet. He stays in his independent office as Lt. Governor, but not actively developing Fallin's agenda. Meanwhile, over in the capitol halls, some legislators decided the time is ripe for their own declaration of opposition to the Fallin Taxes. Rep. George Faught decided to pen a short statement over his lunch break. He emailed it to a couple dozen trusted colleagues. Immediately he got several responses from them, asking to be included. So Faught set a 2 hour deadline for his selected colleagues to get their statements to him. A total of 14 were able to get statements in. Several did not catch his email in time to even know of this development until they saw the media reports. |
