And now we are hearing from owner JP Wilson on X. And here’s a look back at just a few of the many times he’s agreed to speak with me but then ghosted. The offer to speak with him (or his father still stands.)

MORE- You might say, “But wait, Wendy, didn’t the restaurant also repeatedly fail to make its regular payments to OK- owing $255k in June?” YES. And this suit does NOT address that. And now Oklahoma Tourism refuses to tell me how much taxpayers are still owed.

MORE- #Oklahoma says restaurant owners didn't maintain a Commercial Liability Insurance Contract to cover property damage, as required. And because of Lookout Kitchen operators' gross negligence and reckless actions, our state was left with 5 million dollars worth of damage...

MORE- The lawsuit filed by OMES yesterday says the fire, which also damaged hotel rooms, started when a Lookout employee left rag with greasy and combustible materials in a container... And says restaurant operators failed to maintain a safe working area and breached their contract...

🚨#OKLAHOMA SEEKS $5 MILLION+ from failed restaurant owners, claiming negligence caused a fire inside the Lookout Kitchen at Sequoyah State Park in Dec 2024 while they were uninsured. This photo from the scene was shared online by Spring Valley volunteer firefighters -🧵

LAWSUIT FILED- The State of #Oklahoma files suit against the company behind the now-closed Lookout Kitchen restaurants in state parks, seeking💰for breach of contract. (We are awaiting a copy of the full filing.) We previously uncovered repeated issues with the deal...🧵

❗️LAWMAKER RAISE UPDATE- One #oklahoma state rep is calling for the AG to get involved. Molly Jenkins (R) announced she will reject the increase if it goes through and donate it to a crisis pregnancy center. #okleg

HAPPENING NOW- the line is wrapped around the new Shake Shack in OKC. Anyone had it? Is it worth it?

👀Had to check for myself to see if this is really on the CDC website. It is.

Lots to share from my conversation with Superintendent Lindel Fields - starting with whether he believes the position warrants the new $250k salary approved yesterday. #oklaed #oklahoma

Good morning from the #Oklahoma Dept of Education. The last time I was here I was asking to see the superintendent’s cable tv box. 🫠
Let’s just say today’s interview was a bit different. #oklaed

💰SALARY SHAKEUP- #Oklahoma's next state superintendent will get a massive raise. At $250k a year, it'll become the highest paid statewide position.

INBOX- in an email to parents, Supt. Fields says there will not be any changes to end-of-year testing this year.
He also provides an update on the new social studies standards. #oklaed #Oklahoma

"SOMETHING WE SHOULD NOT TOLERATE AS A COMMUNITY." Around 12,000 young children in Oklahoma are served by Head Start Programs. Here's a breakdown of which ones are threatened immediately by the shutdown, and which ones have some wiggle room to keep operating. #Oklahoma

‼️TONIGHT- claims of misspent federal money, manipulated data, and harm to Oklahoma kids… just within ONE office of OSDE. Former support specialists- including a former Teacher of the Year- reveal what drove them away during Ryan Walters’ time as superintendent. #OKLAED

💕An inspiring (and wet!) morning at this year’s ‘More Than Pink’ walk to fight breast cancer!
The lightning and storms cut things short, but my girls and I were so proud to help raise money in honor of their “Mimi” and support all the efforts of Susan G. Komen.

Aaaaaand gotta brag on my cousin, Debbie, who cheered for OU back in the day. 😎 When I told her I was moving to Oklahoma 13 years ago, she said, “don’t you dare ever dress my niece and nephew in that God-awful orange. 😂 #RedRiverShowdown #BOOMER

Been a minute since I got to cover OU- TX in person. Watching from the couch isn’t so bad either though. #BOOMER
