Fallin Takes Early Out; Askins To Be Named
Congresswoman-elect Mary Fallin has resigned as lieutenant governor as of 5 p.m. Tuesday and Governor Brad Henry says he'll appoint Lieutenant Governor-elect Jari Askins (pictured) to serve the final days of Fallin's term.
Fallin submitted her resignation to Henry today in a move that caught most by surprise.
Fallin will be sworn in as a Member of Congress on January 4th while Askins will be sworn in on January 8th. On Wednesday, Fallin is expected to be attending GOP conferences on Capitol Hill.
Fallin succeeds Congressman Ernest Istook, who was defeated by Henry.
