Alleged Nepotism at the Department of Education

This Week in Oklahoma Politics, KOSU's Michael Cross talks to Republican Political Consultant Neva Hill and ACLU Oklahoma Executive Director Ryan Kiesel about outgoing state Superintendent Janet Barresi creating a position for the husband of her general council and the Department of Education's release of A-F grading for state schools.

Other topics of discussion include a federal judge's worry that Oklahoma won't be ready for new executions in November, another judge's ruling on the Ten Commandments monument at the state Capitol and a fundraising pigeon shoot for Senator Jim Inhofe that has drawn the attention of animal rights groups.

Neva Hill has been a political commentator for KOSU since 1998.
