OKLAHOMA CITY — Letter to the editor

To: Anyone interested in;

A — Creating more jobs for Oklahomans

B — Lowering the cost of all goods and services in Oklahoma.

Dear Oklahomans,

I see that the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce wants to achieve some workers-comp reforms.

Here freely offered is my opinion on that.

Years ago, when Frank Keating was governor and Drew Edmondson was attorney general, they set up a workers-comp fraud squad that reduced workers-comp costs from a billion dollars a year to $600 million.

No one person or a thousand people can steal that much money unless it is done within well a organized illegal process.

That is a federal crime. It is called “Racketeering.”

Back then, corruption reached the highest levels.

Even Gov. David Walters pled guilty to accepting money from workers-comp lawyer(s).

Here’s the problem.

No job creator, or anyone else, likes to have his or her face held in the dirt and their pockets picked by a racketeer.

It is only natural that they move their jobs to Texas where such theft is not permitted.

So for more jobs in Oklahoma and a lower cost for goods and services for Oklahomans, there seems to be two simple solutions.

You the citizen can:

1. Contact your state rep. and state senator and ask them to achieve meaningful workers-comp reforms.

2. Contact your congressmen and two senators, the state attorney general, the feds, and anyone else who will listen for a “Multi County Grand Jury to examine the Oklahoma workers-comp process for racketeering.”

They could start by scanning the computer data banks to identify the professional claimants who used the to file five, ten and twenty claims a year. Maybe they are back.

Respectfully,

David Oliver

Oklahoma City

There are plans to cut expenses of government, yet cuts aren’t always justified and if they affect people directly, there is a lot of unhappiness. Plans to close the Social Security office in Hugo is a recent example.

The President is in Israel saying “we’re a democracy.” I like to think I’m pretty “up” on current events but I guess I missed this major change in our government.

You don’t need that! We have been hearing a lot of that lately, mostly by the left, but also by the right. They are mostly talking about semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines this time. Of course, we don’t need them

Recently, on May 4, we had a client who came into our center seeking assistance. She was not seeking food, or help with utilities, or for any type of physical needs. Her need was more for someone just to listen.
