Stitt Vetoes OETA Authorization Bill

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt once again has vetoed a bill which provides authorization for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority to operate as a state agency. In his veto message on Senate Bill 1461, Stitt said that funding a television state is not a core government function. He said he was following President Donald Trump’s example, referring to the elimination of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through a Congressional recission bill Trump requested.

Oklahoma Voice’s Nuria Martinz-Keel writes that it is uncertain if the Legislature will coordinate a veto override.
