Lamons Backs Dank's Ethics Proposal

Rep. Lucky Lamons, D- Tulsa, today said he supports an ethics proposal by Rep. David Dank, R- Oklahoma City. (See story below.)

“The reforms that have been proposed in the past were bi-partisan proposals that would halt legislative members from soliciting or receiving campaign contributions during legislative session. In 2005, I filed House Bill 2014, in 2006, I filed House Bill 2449 and in 2007, I filed House Bill 1436, all with Representative John Trebilcock, R- Broken Arrow, and Senator Patrick Anderson, R- Enid, as co-authors. However, since 2005 none of these measures were never even allowed out of committee and have been killed by House and Senate leadership ever since.

“I applaud Representative Dank’s efforts to combat this perceived corruption and unethical behavior that takes place at the State Capitol. I look forward to working with him next session to have these measures signed into law.”
