OFRG Urges Term Limits Approval

Oklahomans for Responsible Government (OFRG), the new taxpayer advocacy group that promotes fiscal responsibility, accountability and transparency in state government, today urged the Oklahoma House of Representatives to approve a term limits bill for statewide elected officials.

By a 5-4 vote Monday, the House Rules Committee approved House Joint Resolution 1078 by state Rep. Trebor Worthen (R-Oklahoma City).

Worthen's bill would let Oklahoma voters decide whether to establish term limits for the offices of Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Auditor and Inspector, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Insurance Commissioner, State Treasurer, Labor Commissioner and the members of the Corporation Commission.
