Mark McBride, at the time a state representative, wanted Drummond to investigate whether Langston was on the payroll but not actually performing the duties associated with their position. Drummond declined to pursue it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The door swipe data could reveal how often Langston is present at the department, where he\u2019s one of the highest-paid employees, at $12,500 per month, according to state payroll data, which is $150,000 a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s especially relevant after Walters ended remote work at his agency, and Gov. Kevin Stitt <a href=\"https:\/\/oklahomawatch.org\/2024\/12\/20\/stitt-ends-state-employee-telework-options\/\">ended telework<\/a> for all state employees as of Feb. 1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Education denied the keycard records request, claiming the information was exempt under an anti-terrorism provision that allows confidentiality of certain records, such as those related to schematics or security monitoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A log reflecting who enters the building and when would not reveal details about the state\u2019s measures to deter, prevent or protect against terrorism subject to the exemption, Drummond wrote. If the records contain confidential information, the agency is obligated to redact that portion and produce the rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorney general opinions carry the force of law until a court rules otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.documentcloud.org\/documents\/25987673-ag-opinion-2025-9-2025-ok-ag-9\/?embed=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600px\" style=\"border: 1px solid #d8dee2; border-radius: 0.5rem;\" allow=\"fullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=771%2C771&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-700097\" style=\"width:193px;height:193px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=771%2C771&amp;ssl=1 771w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=336%2C336&amp;ssl=1 336w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=140%2C140&amp;ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=706%2C706&amp;ssl=1 706w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oklahomawatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StaffHeadshots2022_5194-771x771.jpg?w=370&amp;ssl=1 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Jennifer Palmer has been a reporter with Oklahoma Watch since 2016 and covers education.
