Jerry Fent Takes On OMES And Slush Funds

12/6/2017

Comments

 
  The legendary Jerry Fent is back in the Supreme Court building, this week. He's challenging yet another act of the Oklahoma legislature.
  His latest case challenges the loose policies of the Fallin Administration and the legislature which is allowing the practices.
 eCapitol published this notice:
Oklahoma City attorney Jerry Fent filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging a fund used for various fund transfers is unconstitutional.
“For 31 years the Special Cash Fund has been unconstitutional,” Fent said.
Fent alleges the fund was created by legislation that violated several provisions of the of the Oklahoma Constitution, including the limit on general appropriations bills to spending matters (Article 5, Section 56) and the single-subject rule (Article 5, Section 57).

"Every time I see some statute here in Oklahoma being approved by the Legislature, which appears to be unconstitutional, I will look into it and see if I can recognize the elements of unconstitutionality and maybe file a lawsuit,” - Jerry Fent

  Jerry is a retired attorney in Oklahoma City. He retired about 10 years ago, but he took up the hobby of studying current state govt. practices and comparing those policies with the constitutional mandates of our state's founding document. The result has been far more reforms than any current lawmaker can impact. We wrote about Jerry last summer.
  KGOU has a number of articles about the impact of Fent's 'hobby' You can read those articles on their site.
