Henry, Others Take Oaths

Governor Brad Henry took his second oath of office Monday. He was sworn in by his cousin, 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Robert Henry, former Oklahoma attorney general.

Henry proclaimed Oklahoma is in a state of prosperity with unmatched momentum entering its centennial year. The state's 26th governor said Oklahoma is marked by the same spirit of adventure, optimism and fearlessness its citizens possessed when it became a state 100 years ago. "Despite a rocky road, the optimism of our forebears has triumphed," said Henry. "Oklahoma is a state with unmatched momentum. We've worked hard and kept our resolve to build a brighter and stronger state. Together, we have done great things. We are proud of our unique past and fearless about our extraordinary future. Today, Oklahomans are meeting bold new challenges and ascending to brave new heights. We are a state of prosperity, creativity, of cutting-edge research and development, acclaimed and nationally recognized for our efforts in so many areas. Our determination is palpable; our potential is boundless."
