Preston Doerflinger Busted!
Will a Second Mug Shot be Coming Soon?
OSDH CFO Michael Romero quit last week after a confrontation with Preston Doerflinger, the interm head of the Oklahoma State Department of Health. There are state and FBI investigations going on over a massive shortfall of money at the department.
Romero rightly blamed Doerflinger in his resignation letter for lashing out in anger at an employee for just doing his job. Doerflinger was upset that Romero's memo told a different story than another OSDH employee had told the Grand Jury. Of course that testimony is required to be confidential until after the Grand Jury has finished its work, leaving both the employee that testified and Doerflinger facing potential charges of contempt of court. Not only that, the revelation that Doerflinger is "managing" or manipulating Grand Jury testimony is itself certainly likely to be illegal.
Sooner Tea Party has much of the materials that will be reviewed by the House Investigating Committee looking into the OSDH scandal but it needs put into viewable online form before we publish the info. One thing we can say at this point is that the Health Department and most likely Doreflinger and Fallin knew or should have known about the missing $30 million dollars long before October.
