A group of 10 Oklahomans is asking the state Supreme Court to order Gov. Kevin Stitt to resume unemployment benefits aimed at those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a brief filed Monday, attorney Mark Hammons argues Stitt did not have the authority to stop offering four federal unemployment programs after June 26 through an executive order, and is asking the state’s high court to order the state to resume offering the benefits.
“The governor of Oklahoma is not king. He’s the governor, he doesn’t have all power,” Hammons told News 9 shortly after filing. “It’s important that the governor understand that he is supposed to be a servant of the people, not just go out on some direction because he thinks it’s a good idea.”
