Murphey Donates $8,421 To Guthrie Support Group

Guthrie Republican Rep. Jason W. Murphey has presented a donation of $8,241.92 from his legislative salary to officials from Crossroads, An Open Door For Life Choices, Inc., located in Guthrie.
Crossroads provides faith-based, pro-life counseling and support services to expectant mothers.
Murphey said that Oklahoma legislators are the third-highest paid, part-time legislators in the nation, making more than double the regional average.
Murphey said he made the donation, the difference between Oklahoma lawmakers' salaries and the salary of the average working Oklahoman when Murphey was first elected to office, to emphasize that legislators in Oklahoma should not be paid more than other legislators in the region and to illustrate the importance of pro-life services such as Crossroads.
