The State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, nearly killed a year ago by a Gov. Kevin Stitt veto, survived this legislative session with a makeover — but not without controversy and dissolution of the Massage Therapy Advisory Board. tulsaworld.com/news/state-reg…

I usually have problems prying open records from Tulsa Police, too. @aWorldofKC brings the goods. "The TFD captain ends his email by writing that the delays in response 'raise significant concerns' regarding 911 dispatch procedures and coordination among responding agencies."

A few years ago, I wrote about how the state trooper, worried about being out-accelerated by the possibly stolen truck, said he wanted to see what his SUV was capable of in a pursuit while thinking the fleeing driver "might make a mistake." tulsaworld.com/news/local/art…

If you've ever tried to pry public records from the clutches of @TulsaPolice, you probably already know that they seem to HATE releasing records and will grasp at any excuse not to. This must-read story explains a lot, in that regard. readfrontier.org/stories/they-w…

Here's the profile I wrote of Logan and her family 13 months ago. The Oklahoma agency originally in pursuit of Anthony Giancola called it off within minutes because of the grave danger to the public, while two different agencies later picked it back up. tulsaworld.com/news/local/cri…

Apparent deference or protection for law enforcement can pop up in small but notable ways. Example: A state's criminal case witness list I just read largely IDs law enforcement by first *initial* and last name. Non-LEOs generally are ID'd by full first and last names. Why?

Wow. So likely I won't be able to vote in the 2026-2027 primaries unless I change my independent status. My tax dollars help fund these elections.

Colleague and friend @AndreaEger called me "pretty well-adjusted" today in the newsroom. I'm counting this as a big win and compliment. H/t to public schools and my parents.
