Fishel Explains Opposition to Howard Dunning
Judge Lavern Fishel of Coalgate, president of the Oklahoma Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, said the group opposes Howard A Dunning's appointment to the State Soil Conservation Board citing personal implications and noting he is not a district supervisor. A hearing on a permanent injunction is set for July 20 at Purcell to block Dunning from serving on the board.
