Friday's News Update From KWGS

Friday's top stories:

  • Gov. Kevin Stitt visited Tulsa on Thursday to announce over $30 million in federal coronavirus relief funds would be going to the city of Tulsa.
  • $5.6 million of that money will go toward internet connectivity for families and students. Tulsa Public Schools Superintendent Deborah Gist expressed gratitude, but stressed that, despite what Stitt has said, Oklahoma schools need more federal stimulus.
  • Oklahoma State Department of Health Commissioner Col. Lance Frye announced a health advisory called "Safer in Oklahoma," which doesn't add any new guidance for Oklahomans, though more strongly recommends face coverings.
Chris joined Public Radio Tulsa as a news anchor and reporter in April 2020. He’s a graduate of Hunter College and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, both at the City University of New York.
