Gary Jones: McMahan Should Step Down

Republican State Chairman Gary Jones issued this statement: "Today is a disappointing day for Oklahoma with the nine count federal indictment of State Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan and his wife. The office of State Auditor is one that requires a person that will conduct themselves in a manner that is above reproach. I agree with Governor Henry the Auditor should step down immediately until this situation is resolved."

Jones opposed McMahan in 2002 and 2006, losing both races.

House Speaker Lance Cargill called the indictments "terribly unfortunate."
