😂 I’m pretty sure there is no definition of “internal documents” in the Oklahoma Open Records Act. There’s agency records and exemptions. If it’s not exempt, it’s a record. #FOI #transparency

Affordable housing is slim, mental health access is a struggle and Oklahomans continue to experience homelessness. But the Governor’s Interagency Council on Homelessness has been dissolved. The council had just started work on a new statewide plan to address homelessness.
