Things like a better wireless phone contract and moving a mailing online has saved the state of Oklahoma $19.4 million according to a new report from the Division of Government Efficiency or DOGE-OK.
The examples the report points to are a reduction of wireless phone rates for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services resulting in $780,000 in annual savings. The Teachers’ Retirement System went paperless for courtesy mailings. That is expected to save $100,000 for postage and printing. The Interstate Oil Compact Commission eliminated all state vehicles from its fleet saving $15,000.
“DOGE-OK is proving that Oklahoma can do more with less,” said Governor Kevin Stitt, who created DOGE-OK.
“Oklahomans expect their government to be lean and spend dollars responsibly. Great work is being done to eliminate waste and deliver better services to Oklahomans.”
