Less than a week after being elected to fill the remainder of former sheriff Chris Morris’ term, McClendon is sidelined in the hospital.
Pittsburg County voters elected Republican Frankie McClendon to an unexpired term as sheriff Tuesday while rejecting two separate lodging tax proposals aimed at generating additional revenue for tourism and economic development.

A coin flip could decide who makes the Oklahoma high school football playoffs! 🪙🏈
Gore, Liberty and Sallisaw Central could finish in a three-way tie for two playoff spots.
If tiebreakers can't settle it, the three coaches will meet at Catfish Roundup off I-40 at MIDNIGHT Friday to flip coins.
Two teams advance. One goes home.
The OSSAA will livestream it on Facebook.

GOOD NEWS: National Weather Service morning balloon launches have officially returned to normal levels while offices across the US have filled various vacancies. It seems like after an incredibly stressful and tumultuous 20 months in our industry, things are moving back to normal.
It’s important to remember though that the fight must continue. The United States of America has long been the global leader in weather infrastructure. We must do everything to ensure NOAA, and by extension the NWS, is fully and properly funded to maintain this status and continue to innovate. Accurate and timely forecasts save lives and keep money in your pockets.
I don't think the jury has much choice after now former Coal County Sheriff Jason Smith admitted to bitch slapping another man.

I’m at the Coal County Courthouse this morning as the removal trial for suspended Sheriff Jason Smith is scheduled to being today.
Smith’s attorney, Billy Coyle, said Smith was never allowed to tell his story in front of the grand jury. Coyle painted the allegations against Smith as personal vendettas by employees carried over through the previous administration.
