Citing wasteful spending, Stitt vetoes bills

Two bills approved by lawmakers would create cushy professorships at state universities—that involve little or no teaching—by increasing state debt and the associated burden on taxpayers🤯 On Monday, Governor Kevin Stitt vetoed the bills, saying that practice is “unsustainable.”


Stitt vetoed House Bill 2749 and House Bill 2750, which both dealt with the Oklahoma State Regents’ Endowment Trust Fund. That fund is used to match private donations for endowed chair positions at state colleges.
