Oklahomans left without social security benefits
SUMMARY: Many Oklahomans are struggling financially due to significant delays and errors in receiving Social Security benefits. One woman reported that her monthly benefit of $943 has been drastically reduced or stopped since October. Despite changing from a Direct Express card to a checking account per Social Security Administration’s advice, her payments have not resumed. Others also report similar issues, including difficulties accessing funds through Direct Express. These problems have led to a broader investigation, as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently sued Comerica Bank for failing to properly manage the program and assist customers.

Women spends thousands on new bathtub, still doesn’t have it months later
SUMMARY: An Oklahoma woman, Janice Brule, paid \$3,600 to a contractor for a bathtub renovation but hasn’t received the completed work months later. After paying in June, communication with the contractor, J Revival Renovations, ceased by early July. Janice resorted to hauling water from the kitchen to fill her bathtub for two months. The contractor claims the job was canceled by Janice and denies fault, saying he planned to deliver materials multiple times but faced excuses and no access. Janice, a retired special education teacher on a fixed income, cannot afford another contractor and remains skeptical about the situation.

Commissioner says Juneteenth omission was a 'clerical error'
SUMMARY: A county commissioner, Miles Davidson, is addressing a controversy after a resolution he proposed omitted Juneteenth from the county’s observed holidays. Davidson explained that the omission was a clerical error, not intentional. He supports adding Juneteenth back to the list, noting he originally proposed it as a holiday last year. Other officials, including Commissioner Jason Lowe and Oklahoma County Jail Trust Member Derrick Kobe, reacted to the omission on social media, initially criticizing it. Lowe has since acknowledged the mistake and plans to make a motion to reinstate Juneteenth at the upcoming commissioners’ board meeting, aiming to correct the error.
