Henry Donates Another $7,500 To Charity
Governor Brad Henry has given away another $7,500 in campaign funds to further distance himself from former Senator Gene Stipe.
Henry said he was donating the money, given to his 2002 and 2006 campaigns by Stipe and by Stipe's abstract company partner, Steve Phipps, and his Phipps Enterprises. The Federal Bureau of Investigation alleges Stipe and Phipps were part of a conspiracy to funnel money into numerous campaigns.
Earlier this week, Henry donated $35,000 to charity; that's the sum federal investigators have linked to straw donors. Congressman Dan Boren gave a similar amount to charity for the same reason.
