Gov. Kevin Stitt's secretary of digital transformation and administration, who courted controversy during his time in the administration, will step down this week.
Cabinet Secretary David Ostrowe, who was charged with attempted bribery of an official last year, a charge that was later dropped, will resign Tuesday.
A businessman, Ostrowe will return to the private sector where he serves as president of O&M Restaurant Group in Oklahoma City, Stitt's office said Friday.
