↑ 5%Aaron Morris named interim director of Health Care Authority by Governor Stitt. Posted: Jul 15, 2026 / 05:16 PM CDT Updated: Jul 15, 2026 / 05:16 PM CDT OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - On Wednesday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt named Aaron Morris as the next interim director of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA). Governor Stitt's office says Morris brings more than 20 years of financial expertise in the public sector. According to Stitt, Clay Bullard, the current director of OHCA, is stepping down and returning to the private sector, "Clay arrived at the agency at a pivotal time, and his private sector experience was invaluable," said Gov. Stitt. "I am grateful for his service, and I wish him the best as he returns to the private sector." In 2024, Governor Stitt named Morris as the state's chief financial officer. Before that, Morris served as OHCA's CFO, where he was responsible for financial strategy and management. "Aaron has proved to be a steady leader through any challenge," said Gov. Stitt. "As CFO of the State, he has worked carefully to protect our state's savings, navigate complicated budget issues, and assist agencies to increase accountability and transparency. He is a trusted member of my team, and I am grateful that he has agreed to step into the role at OHCA for the remainder of my term." Morris says the role is an absolute honor, "It is a privilege to continue serving my state, and I am grateful for the Governor's confidence in me," said Morris. "I look forward to returning to OHCA and to working to address the budgetary and regulatory issues that face the agency." Morris holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and an MBA from Cameron University. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond responded to Bullard's resignation, citing a pattern of failure at OHCA, "Clay Bullard's resignation comes after a tenure marked by the same Stitt administration failures my office repeatedly had to confront. Oklahomans were promised managed care would lower costs and improve care. Instead, they got denied claims, delayed payments and a governor more interested in defending out-of-state insurance corporations than the people he serves."
Pike Off files lawsuit against OTA, seeks to halt Toby Keith Expressway construction. * Prefer Oudaily on Google * Jun 26, 2026 Updated 18 hrs ago * 1 min to read News managing editor News reporter Stay in the loop. Pike Off OTA filed a lawsuit against the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Tuesday, seeking to halt further construction on the Toby Keith Expressway. The lawsuit was filed by Pike Off OTA, an organization fighting turnpike expansion in Oklahoma, and alleges the defendants failed to comply with federal environmental laws governing project construction. The lawsuit seeks to prevent additional bond funding until the required permits, environmental reviews and agency consultations have been completed. The project, also known as the East-West Connector, is part of ACCESS Oklahoma, a long-term plan to upgrade Oklahoma's turnpike system. The Toby Keith Expressway would run from Interstate 44 in Newcastle, crossing the Canadian River to connect with Interstate 35. It would continue into Norman along Indian Hills Road, going northeast to Interstate 40 and connecting to the Kickapoo Turnpike, according to the ACCESS Oklahoma website. The lawsuit claims the construction of the Toby Keith Expressway is negatively affecting U.S. water and endangered species habitats, as well as violates several acts, including the National Environmental Policy Act, the Federal Transportation Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. According to the lawsuit, construction has altered protected waterways in the Canadian River by discharging materials into the water and rerouting the waterways. In March 2026, Norman City Council approved a contract between the city and the OTA, which paid the city $8.95 million to relocate water wells and lines in northwest Norman for future construction of the Toby Keith Expressway. * News reporter * 2 min to read Previous lawsuits. In a lawsuit filed against the OTA in May 2022, Pike Off OTA claimed the authority was in violation of State Statute 69 Section 1705, which authorizes where the OTA can propose a toll road. The court ruled that it has exclusive original jurisdiction to determine if the OTA is authorized to construct the turnpikes. Later that month, over 150 Cleveland County residents filed a separate suit claiming the OTA violated the Open Meeting Act. An associate district court judge ruled in favor of the residents, but the Oklahoma Supreme Court later overturned the ruling on the basis that the evidence was legally defective.
