'Serious Announcement' Expected From Cargill

A "serious announcement" about his future as speaker of the Oklahoma House is expected from Rep. Lance Cargill of Harrah this afternoon, two high-ranking Republican House members tell The McCarville Report Online.

The sources say they expect the announcement to come during a 3 p.m. GOP Caucus with at least some members joining via a conference call hookup.

Earlier, TMRO was told Cargill has been dealing today with unrest among GOP members following the revelation that, in addition to being late filing his personal income taxes, he has been late in filing taxes on his law firm.

Asked if Cargill may resign the speakership, one member of his leadership team said, "I simply can't comment on that."
