The fact is that there was the Oklahoma Industry Authority, which was making deals it had no authority to make, hiding records around town, hooking up its members with huge public funded benefits like the downtown tunnel system going to all the OIA members' buildings, Presbyterian Tower being built and then sold to the OIA members for a trifle, etc. It was corrupt as hell and it needed to be brought down.
Cartwright's second term would have seen criminal prosecutions of the like of EK Gaylord. Sadly, the Oklahoman went hard against Cartwright in the Democratic primaries, Mike Turpen, lapdog to the elite, came into the office and the corruption probes disappeared overnight.
