First they came for “more than” and I did not speak out. Then they came for “collision” and I did not speak out. Then they came for “percent” and there was no point anymore to AP Style. 😱

The AP Stylebook says the percentage sign is now acceptable when paired with a numeral in most cases.

Not sure when the last time @DanIsett read the Open Records Act, but if all the attorneys at @oksde quit, there’s a good chance nobody is steering the Good Ship Transparency.

@RussFlorence Lol. After I asked about a previous inquiry on open records, he said they don't run an "on-demand" system for open records. FWIW, the last time I was there in person (during regular business hours), I asked to inspect contract documents. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #FOI #transparency @DanIsett

If you know someone between 18-29, please let them know this might be a good time to get vaccinated. Oklahoma hospital admissions in the 18-29 age group are at their highest level of the pandemic so far. That age group is also lagging in vaccinations. #COVID19 #okhealth

I’ve been tracking Oklahoma #COVID19 infections by ZIP code since April. I’ve never seen any increase like this in Taft, ZIP Code 74463, home to Eddie Warrior Correctional Center. From 22 active cases a week ago to 637 today.

Last week, I reached out to Ohio’s state education department to get some context for a daily story. It took them just hours to respond. I also reached out to Oklahoma @oksde for a related question. I’m still waiting on a response after multiple attempts. #oklaed @DanIsett

NEW: We’ve passed 1 million cumulative cases of #COVID19 in Oklahoma. With today’s report, it’s 1,000,480. As a reminder, that’s likely an undercount because rapid, at-home tests aren’t reported to @HealthyOklahoma . #okhealth

Walters Administration Wants to Hire Someone to Get More National Media Exposure - Oklahoma Watch

Public records show the Education Department wants to hire a firm to book and manage Superintendent Walters’ national media appearances. Critics say that’s not their job.
