State Superintendent Ryan Walters doesn’t want to wait. He wants to be impeached.
Walters addressed local media on the front steps of the Capital in Oklahoma City on August 16th. The notification about the news conference went out about 45 minutes ahead of time.
When he arrived he said he wanted to address everyone at once after hearing from several people for comment on the latest developments between his office and the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

Days after that call for an investigation was rejected another investigation was approved.
Rep. Kevin Wallace, a Republican out of Wellston, announced the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency is starting an investigation into spending concerns regarding the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
“In my capacity as Chairman, I intend to have LOFT investigate funding disbursement concerns raised by both citizens and legislators in regard to funds earmarked to OSDE for specific purposes,” Wallace said. “This isn’t about Superintendent Walters; this is about the transparency of a State Agency and getting answers for our constituents.”
