Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond says he’s stepping in to represent the state in a lawsuit dating back to 2020 “that has drained state resources in defense of unlawful gaming compacts orchestrated by Governor Kevin Stitt.”
Drummond said he informed Gov. Stitt in a personal phone call and delivered an official letter notifying the Governor of his plans.
“While Governor Stitt and I are both elected Republican leaders who agree on many issues, I have been highly critical of his dealings with our Native American Tribes,” Drummond said. “The Governor is free to make his own decisions regarding how he wants to interact with the tribes, but he is not free to violate Oklahoma law. I am taking this action in order to uphold the law and defend our constitution.”
