Resisting resignation

Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Todd Hiett showed another sign this week of his refusal to resign from office amidst an investigation into the allegations he was drunk at a national conference and groped a man at a hotel bar. OK Energy Today reports Commissioner Hiett filed an application with the State Supreme Court seeking a writ of prohibition to stop fellow commissioner Bob Anthony from conducting his own probe into the allegations. An Oklahoma City law firm representing Hiett said it was necessary to prevent Anthony from “engaging in efforts to trample Commissioner Hiett’s rights.”
