OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Watchdog accompanied Norman activist and blogger Kaye Beach to Gov. Brad Henry’s office on Tuesday afternoon. It was there that Beach handed Henry’s receptionist her letter inquiring whether or not Henry would sign an executive order to approve the implementation of license-plate scanners.

Paul Sund, Henry’s press secretary, was not available Tuesday afternoon and as of Wednesday Beach had not heard from the governor’s office. Still, her pursuit for answers has garnered some attention. She was interviewed by KTOK’s Jerry Bohnen on Wednesday and was able to get her questions aired.

“I haven’t heard anything from (Gov. Henry’s office) but then my biggest goal was to get the media on it,” Beach said. “There is some concern that the governor will sign an executive order on the 23rd of December.”

People are objecting to the scanners, as evidenced in this recent Muskogee Phoenix editorial. And Sen. Randy Brogdon, who is also running for governor, reportedly inquired this week about the placement of bar codes on the new license plates that have been issued to Oklahoma motorists this year.

Beach, who is also a co-host on “Radio Free Oklahoma,” which airs Wednesdays from 8-10 p.m. on RuleOfLawRadio.com, will be discussing the issue at great length this evening. She also discusses a lot of these issues at her blog, Axxiom for Liberty.

Oklahoma Watchdog is following this story and hopes to have a full story by the end of the week. Stay tuned.
