OKLAHOMA CITY – House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, issued the following statement after her call to the Governor on Wednesday for a Special Session to impeach the Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner was unanswered.
After Leader Munson’s call, Commissioner Todd Hiett insisted he will not step down from his position. Commissioner Kim David has called for an independent investigation.
“After hearing from hundreds of Oklahomans across the state following my statement on Wednesday, it is clear that the people have lost faith in Commissioner Hiett’s ability to execute the duties of his office,” Leader Munson said. “We deserve public servants who will put the state first.
“Oklahoma’s Constitution makes it clear: it is the House of Representatives, not OMES, that should lead an investigation and prosecute any findings before the State Senate.
“I am once again asking the Governor to issue the call for Special Session and let us begin this work to seek justice and put this situation behind us.
“Oklahomans deserve answers and action.”
