Grand jury issues scathing report on GEER funds, but no charges recommended
SUMMARY: A multi-county grand jury report criticizes the distribution of federal COVID relief funds for Oklahoma children during the pandemic, describing the process as irresponsible and disappointing. While not criminal, the report highlights that families used funds for non-essential items like doorbell cameras and gaming consoles, under the oversight of State Superintendent Ryan Walters. It notes that many families applied for private school funds too late, resulting in over 650 students missing out on tuition assistance. The grand jury indicated that more effective management could have avoided these issues, criticizing Governor Stitt’s rejection of guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.

SUMMARY: A woman living in Jasper Gardens has been without heat or air conditioning for several months, leading to frustration with her living conditions. Kalea Mary Ramsey, a tenant for over two years, resorted to using her oven for warmth and reported that repeated maintenance requests were ignored until recently. Although a maintenance worker assessed the central heating and air system, a part had to be ordered. Ramsey reached out to the property owner in Dallas and was offered a window unit and space heater. News 4 assisted in bringing attention to her situation, leading to some help for Ramsey.

National Weather Service says Oklahomans should have multiple ways to receive storm warnings
SUMMARY: Overnight storms pose significant risks, especially in Oklahoma, where recent tornadoes have devastated homes. The National Weather Service advises residents to be prepared with multiple ways to receive emergency alerts, such as weather radios and phone notifications, rather than relying solely on outdoor sirens, which are not effective indoors. Lead Meteorologist Vivek Mulhall emphasizes the importance of having a plan and knowing safe shelter locations, as warnings may not provide much notice. Residents are also encouraged to ensure their phones are set to receive and sound emergency alerts, particularly during nighttime storms.
