  • Gov. Kevin Stitt says action to reduce wasteful government spending is officially underway. Total savings are just shy of $1.2 million, per the new DOGE-OK website.

The article from KOSU discusses Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt's promotion of the "DOGE OK Savings" initiative, which aims to encourage savings among Oklahomans by offering a state-managed savings account with a 5% interest rate. Governor Stitt has been actively promoting this program, even appearing in a video with a dog named "Doge" to boost its appeal. However, the initiative has met with skepticism from state lawmakers. They are concerned about the potential redundancy with existing federal programs like the Thrift Savings Plan, the financial implications of funding such a program, and the possible need for staff cuts in other areas to support it. Critics argue that the state should focus on more pressing issues like education and infrastructure rather than creating what they see as an unnecessary and potentially costly new program.
