ROPE Report Short - Oklahoma's Elected Officials Rarely Challenged, Not Responsive To Citizens




Ken Malloy of NorthStar Project (https://oknorthstar.org/) talked to us about how NorthStar is influencing Tulsa Public Education. 

From recruiting and helping school board candidates to run on a campaign of reforming TPS to writing White Papers (https://oknorthstar.org/whitepapers/the-responsible-educational-progress-rep-index-for-oklahoma-public-schools/) detailing TPS educational accountability, this new Think Tank formed last year is off to a running start. Ken and his wife Maria Seidler (of Legal Overwatch For Parents Rights - https://legaloverwatch.org/), both retired attorneys, moved to Oklahoma to be with their family. 

Ken talks about how different the culture in New York - where litigation against governmental entities is more commonplace - is compared to here in Oklahoma where few of our governmental officials are ever called on the carpet and therefore, are not at all responsive to the citizens they represent and who pay their salaries. 

Oklahomans need to wake up and figure out that our government does not have our best interests at heart. In fact, Ken likens Oklahoma's citizens to mushrooms that are kept in the dark and fed 'crap', by their governmental officials.
