Murphey: Reduce Legislators' Pay

Saying he can think of no better place to trim state waste than the Oklahoma Legislature, Rep. Jason Murphey (R-Guthrie) today announced the introduction of House Joint Resolution 1007. Murphey's resolution calls for a vote of the people to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to slash state legislators' pay. If approved by the voters, the amendment would cut Oklahoma legislative annual salaries from $38,400 per year to match the annual income of the average Oklahoman, which now stands at $29,908.
