Who Will Be Askins' New Chief Of Staff?
That's the question as Dick Pryor leaves Lt. Governor Jari Askins' office after a few months to return to the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority today. Pryor, husband of former Oklahoma Democratic Party Chair Lisa Pryor, told Oklahoma City radio station KTOK that he simply missed journalism; for years, Pryor was a news anchor and special programming host at OETA.
The OETA's Bill Thrash issued this statement: "We are pleased to announce that Dick Pryor will be returning to OETA Monday, June 11, 2007 in a new capacity. He will serve as Deputy Director, New Media Planning, to help implement OETA’s strategic plan. Dick served during this past legislative session as chief of staff to Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins. He had been with OETA for 16 years in the news department before moving to the State Capitol in January 2007. Dick will be coordinating several ongoing and new initiatives with special emphasis on the multi-channel environment. He will work with all departments to maximize OETA’s impact across the state."
