Secretary of Finance, Administration and Information Technology Responds to Reckless Comments Regarding Special Session
Secretary of Finance, Administration and Information Technology Preston Doerflinger issued the following statement in response to a press release issued by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA):
“It is reckless and dangerous for special interest groups to
peddle misinformation and disregard facts concerning the state budget and the
need for special session.
"The comparison of borrowing funds for cash flow purposes
to raiding the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET) shows a complete lack of understanding regarding the intricacies of
the budget as well as the Oklahoma Constitution.
"It would appear the playbook that OCPA is working from
has outlived its usefulness. Fortunately, they have proven time and time again that their relevancy in the
discussion on how our government runs has faded."
