🚩🚩🚩NEW: The Oklahoman reports today that Calvey has tried only ONE civil case before a jury, proving he is completely unqualified to serve as District Attorney! #calveyiscorrupt
@FixTheJail These are management problems. Plain and simple. Calvey promised that the jail trust would solve these issues and that money was not needed.
@FixTheJail@OKCNightCourt Bottom line, the jail trust has proven they know how to throw money at a problem but not actually solve the problem. When the trust proves they can properly manage, maybe then they can be trusted with more bond money.
@FixTheJail@helennlangley This translates to forcing the public to accept unconditional jail conditions or a poorly planned alternative that is doomed to repeat past mistakes. The better option is to send these plans back to the drawing table and do it right.
@FixTheJail@OKCNightCourt And let’s not forget the millions in CARES funds that went to the jail trust and operations have still fallen below ACA standards with negligent understaffing and record high inmate deaths. This bond and future plans are still short-sighted and will repeat past failures
@FixTheJail@OKCNightCourt ARPA is limited in its application and one-time federal funding. Additional bonds needed to make up the building cost shortfall = more taxes. And the $5 mil in savings in operational costs, is still not enough to bolster what it will actually cost to run a jail to ACA standards.
🚩🚩NEW: CALVEY LINKED TO EPIC CHARTER SCHOOL SCANDAL! Affidavit of Probable Cause in CF-2022-2721 lists Calvey as a vendor who charged excessive amounts or provided services unrelated to running an educational institution. Just more evidence that #calveyiscorrupt
@FixTheJail@DaleJohnson772 In 2019 Kevin Calvey told the public that the problems with the jail were caused by mismanagement, not the physical structure of the building. He told us a jail trust would fix that. It hasn’t. Watch or yourself. https://t.co/n1uhXPOO6g
@OKCNightCourt@FixTheJail You miss the point. This bond is not enough to fix all of the county’s crumbling buildings much less the jail alone. The end result will be the same as before - cutting corners to spread the money as far as it can go.
@FixTheJail How many people have died in the jail since 2021? Thirteen in 2021 and nine so far this year. And you have people like Calvey - who has been tied to taking money from a criminal organization, EPIC Charter School - running it. A new building doesn’t fix the management problems.
@TheLostOgle@NEWS9@mitchelltalks Anyone notice that Adams & Associates is on the list too? That is where DA Candidate Robert Gray works. Has anyone asked him about this too?
Did you know that Calvey’s military “trial” experience is nothing more than 15 minute, non-adversarial hearings where the judge does all the questioning and makes the charging decisions? So why would a lawyer with no real criminal trial experience want to be District Attorney?
Did you know that as a County Commissioner, Calvey does private work on taxpayer time? How many of us would be fired for spending our time at work doing other business - especially if we spent half of our time on anything but our job! #parttimeworkfulltimepay#calveyiscorrupt
@TheOklahoman_ “Politician with history of attempting to give himself and his cronies immunity from prosecution promises not to give himself and his cronies immunity if elected District Attorney.” There. Fixed the headline for you. #calveyiscorrupt
