[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3916206, member: 24531"] I know someone who told me that their agency has mandatory training that includes EQUITY. Stitt has no idea this is going on under his watch. Equity promotes the idea of elevating one group at the expense of another, it is not the same as "equality". We are in one of the reddest states...Republicans on average are just as bad guys, let's face it. Per my contact above, apparently it is all of that you said and gotten worse. A bunch of millennials attending meetings with their Starbucks mugs but not producing an actual product (like in the office space movie). All the good folks left or retired and now it is a high-turnover bureaucracy that likes to outsource things to the "private sector" and just acts as a middle man and marks up the cost for the other agencies to then justify & fund their own existence. That law would have been a great idea if OMES was a smaller agency mainly focused on consolidated purchasing to save cost, and perhaps a small IT shop to serve smaller agencies that didn't have the staff to do things themselves. Based on what I've been told, they are not saving money and their claims of this is at least partially smoke & mirrors at best. People supposedly against big government and centralization of power have created a giant, inefficient bureaucracy that's net effect is funneling money to their corporate buddies. This was a Fallin thing and her cohorts in the legislature. I was even told one of the original authors of the bill to create OMES went on to run some agency and was all mad about the service he was getting and got a bunch of special exceptions for his agency outside of what other agencies have to accept and deal with.
