Oklahoma Water Resources Board and Cherokee Nation member Ed Fite reminds us (News, “Water war,” Clifton Adcock, May 2, Oklahoma Gazette) that in spite of the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes’ well-produced PR campaign on water rights, "the two nations brought that suit against the state, and that's being lost” — in case anyone missed Gov. Fallin trying to shame the tribes into submission after they called OKC's bluff on their strong-arm tactic with the good ol’ boys at the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.

Rep. Jason Nelson: I read your self-aggrandizing commentary in Oklahoma Gazette (“A plan to fix DHS,” April 4), and I have to reply that most of the problems your party is trying to solve is one of their own making.

In answer to Dick J. Brooks, I think he has forgotten the facts just a little.
