Danny Morgan Reacts To McMahan Indictment

Democratic House Leader Danny Morgan issued this statement this afternoon:

“House Democrats oppose any type of political corruption. We think it was said best by U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling that these practices are unacceptable. Public interests should never be awarded to the highest bidder. We, as public officials, should hold ourselves to the strictest of standards. Special interests receiving preferential treatment violate the public trust, and these practices shatter the integrity of our democratic system.

“Ethics reform will be a top priority of the House Democrats this Session. Unethical and illegal fundraising practices are absolutely intolerable. Our caucus will push for expansion of the Ethics Commission’s power to eliminate any corruption that exists. We hope House Republicans will join us to push for true and meaningful ethics reform. Oklahomans deserve a government that works for all of its citizens not just the special interests.”
