Drummond Says He's Committed to Transparency
Nathan Thompson
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond says he is committed to changing a culture of closed government and cronyism in the state.
During a visit in Bartlesville this week, Drummond says for too long, state agencies have not been willing to share important information that should be readily available to the public.
Drummond says his office will be holding seminars on the Open Meetings Act and Open Records Act across the state. He says the free seminars are not just for elected officials, but for the general public as well. The attorney general says it is important for all Oklahomans to know what their rights are.
The nearest seminar will be on Oct. 16 at Tulsa Technology Center's Riverside Campus.
Seminars will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the following locations:
- Sept. 25 — Lawton, Cameron University, 501 SW University Dr.
- Oct. 16 — Tulsa, Tulsa Technology Center Riverside Campus, 801 E 91st St.
- Oct. 30 — Enid, Autry Technology Center, 1201 W Willow Rd.
- Nov. 13 — McAlester, Eastern Oklahoma State College, 1802 E College Ave.
- Dec. 11 — Oklahoma City, Metro Tech Conference Center, 1900 Springlake Dr.
The seminars are free and open to the public. No pre-registration is required.
Continuing education credits are available for attendance. Attorneys will receive three CLE credit hours. New school board members can get three credit hours from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, and new technology center board members can earn three credit hours from the State Department of Career and Technology Education. Law enforcement officials are eligible to receive three credit hours from the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training.
