Terrill Claims Anderson Diverts Calls

Rep. Randy Terrill (R-Moore) issued a statement today after, he said, Senator Patrick Anderson (R-Enid) began forwarding calls to his office to Terrill’s office "in an effort to avoid communicating with his own constituents."

Anderson could not be immediately reached for comment on the allegation and there was no explanation of why he would forward calls to his office to another legislator's office.

“This is the most unbelievably cowardly act by an elected official that I have ever seen," Terrill said. "Apparently, Senator Anderson is receiving so many calls from his constituents urging him to support an Official English law that he is now trying to avoid them by forwarding the calls to me. Senator Anderson is turning his back on his constituents. The voters of Senate District 19 deserve better.

“It’s inconceivable that any public official would treat his own constituents this way unless Senator Anderson is truly working with the Senate Democrat leadership to block or kill consideration of Official English in the state Senate this week.”
