Henry Stands Up Senate Democrats

Governor Brad Henry did not show for last night's fundraiser for Senate Democrats, adding to what many say is a rift between the governor and Senate Democrats under Co-President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan.

Henry's office said he attended a daughter's soccer game in Shawnee rather than the fundraiser.

Sources say Henry agreed to help headline the dinner with Morgan before the Senate Democrats joined Senate and House Republicans in adopting the budget that Henry vetoed. The invitations announcing Henry's presence were received about the time Henry, on spring vacation in Mexico, objected to the budget.
