Another Gov. Kevin Stitt Cabinet secretary to resign

[TexasTowelie]

Gov. Kevin Stitt's secretary of digital transformation and administration, who courted controversy during his time in the administration, will step down this week.

Cabinet Secretary David Ostrowe, who was charged with attempted bribery of an official last year, a charge that was later dropped, will resign Tuesday.

A businessman, Ostrowe will return to the private sector where he serves as president of O&M Restaurant Group in Oklahoma City, Stitt's office said Friday.

Ostrowe juggled his public and private sector duties simultaneously while serving in the governor's Cabinet.

Ostrowe was indicted last year and accused of telling two top officials at the Oklahoma Tax Commission the agency would lose state appropriations unless they waived a company's penalties and interest on a tax debt.

3. Corruption

That's pretty much how the Stitt Admin rolls.
