I don’t like either of the responses
We still don’t know much about Stitt. So far he has my vote, but I’d like to feel better about some of the claims about his business dealings as they have been reported.
Gateway problems in Georgia did not directly involve Kevin Stitt, lawyer says

Why was he not prosecuted by the Feds for violating these people's civil rights?
Other stuff about Edmondson...
"A restoration of the 7 percent gross production tax, an increase of 50 cents on the price of a pack of cigarettes,” said Edmondson. “And elimination of the capital gains loophole for millionaires"
Edmondson says those increases will add about $300 million to the $400 million the legislature passed this year. "It will not affect the income tax rates of any Oklahomans unless they deduct capital gains. But it will not affect the income tax rate itself."
But Edmondson, who got the endorsement of former governor and US senator David Boren, says more money is still needed to adequately fund schools. “We need all that we can get,” he said.
I see two problems here, first the unending need for more tax money with no mention of purpose or goals much less reforms.
Then there's the backing by Boren who was apparently very remiss about concerns or oversight of spending at OU. The article below gives details of what appear to be fraud if not outright theft which the new president caught on to immediately...raises the question if they both share the tax and spend philosophy.

Some are concerned about Stitt's business issues but it should be remembered that Edmondson dismissed all charges against those responsible for the World Com scandal that cost many Oklahoman's a lot.

Good question, maybe the same reason his niece only had to do 10 of a 30yr. sentence for a violent gun crime and then get to do her probation here at home instead of the state she was convicted in?
