Gov. Stitt's Legal Action Against Oklahoma Legislature

Governor Kevin Stitt is taking legal action against the Oklahoma legislature after lawmakers pushed through an override to extend two revenue-sharing agreements with tribes through 2024. Stitt argues that lawmakers are challenging his ability to negotiate compacts and wants the Oklahoma Supreme Court to rule on the matter. Lawmakers believe they have the right to ensure all compacts are negotiated in good faith and hope the extension will improve relations between the governor and tribes. The lawsuit has been filed, but it is unclear when a ruling will be made.
