OKLAHOMA CITY — In his annual State of the State address, Governor Kevin Stitt announced the creation of the Division of Government Efficiency (DOGE-OK).
The new division follows President Donald Trump's move to create a federal Department of Government Efficiency and was created by Stitt's Executive Order.
The division's goal is to eliminate wasteful government spending, improve efficiency and ensure taxpayer dollars are being used effectively, Stitt said. The division will be within the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES).
“Today, I’m launching DOGE-OK to keep the focus on flat budgets and limiting government,” Governor Stitt said. “Our top responsibility as leaders is ensuring we are working on behalf of all four million Oklahomans in the most efficient way possible. DOGE-OK will help identify and root out inefficiencies and government waste. It’s an essential part of making us a top ten state.”
DOGE-OK will be led by an unpaid Chief DOGE Advisor, who will report to Stitt. He said the Chief Advisor will receive broad authority to review agency budgets and operations — including having full access to agency records, data, software systems, and I.T. systems.
DOGE-OK has a deadline of March 31 to submit a report outlining strategies for efficiency and specific agency budget findings.
What a fabulous action to take via a state EO and not to mess with a state house/senate full of unipartiers and dems no matter the state. Also would be a logical thing to do so if a governor wants to be Vance’s VP, just throwing that out there for the other milquetoast governors...
It will be hard for ann Okie to ever be picked for vp candidate. Not a single county votes dem. Even the two major city counties. Not much to gain.
Just for the record Trump is not trying to create another agency. Relax. This is only a task force run out of the White House...
So true, the one state that’s solid red on the 2024 election map, the perfect state to do this as it sets an example for millions of us who live literally a 1,000 miles away. This is a fantastic thing to run on to slap the RINOs at every level no matter how far away, the greatest enemy of our country.
What will DOGE-OK have to say about selling off half of Payne County to some green bullshit like Stitt wants to do?
Good. Get rid of the parasites that worm their way into government to take money. Serving themselves, not taxpayers.
Trump does more than modify government. He alters reality.
At present my state won’t be following… but if that were to happen I’d apply to help.
Ahhhh..... to have one of these in Texas. I would gladly participate just to watch the Libtard heads explode starting with the higher education system of which I’m all to familiar with.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
True.
I don’t think DJT should be on Mt. Rushmore. He should have his own mountain.
Copycat crimes.
