OKPNS was the first to float the idea last week that an “enemies list” was being assembled by those surrounding State Sen. Glenn Coffee, the Senate leader, who is awash in controversy.

Whoops! Maybe we hit the nail on the head. An editorial on this weekend’s Tulsa World, which we admit is a paper left of center, nonetheless suggest that crossing Coffee invites retribution.

Further, a group of citizens took out a huge ad yesterday blasting Coffee and inviting the public to phone Coffee’s senate office and ask him “questions.” Just before the Easter holiday break, a new full blown controversy had erupted over the possibility Coffee had been caught being, shall we say, less than forthright with reporter Dave Jordan of News9 regarding possible prison closures. The Coffee appeared to be moving to punish prisons corrections chief Justin Jones for not backing Coffee’s version of a meeting the two had surrounding the prison closing issue.

If you’re on Coffee’s enemies list, or know someone who is, let us know! In the meantime, this conservative blog says it’s time for a change at the state senate before more damage can be done.
