— and says he'll reveal the details after cash is given
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, just returned from a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago with a request for his state legislature to dole out cash for a corporation he desperately wants to lure to the state.

Applebee's Franchise Exec Fired, Employees Quit After Leaked Email Suggests Lowering Wages Over Rising Gas Prices
After an Applebee’s franchise executive suggested in an email that the company’s best response to increasing gas prices would be lowering new worker wages, an outpost in Kansas saw a mass resignation.
The employees at the Applebee’s in Lawrence, Kansas were made aware of the already leaked email, from American Franchise Capital exec Wayne Pankratz, when manager Jake Holcomb printed out two dozen copies and scattered them all over the restaurant, per Vice. Holcomb quit on the spot, before four of the location’s six managers—and at least 10 other workers—did the same. Pankratz has since been terminated following the email, per Restaurant Business Online.
