Worthen Laments Denial Of COLA

Teachers, firefighters, police officers and public employees were denied a cost of living adjustment following a political stunt by House Democrats late Thursday night, Rep. Trebor Worthen said today.

"House Democrats, led by liberal Oklahoma City Representative Richard Morrissette, were successful in killing the cost of living adjustment that would benefit thousands of retired teachers, firefighters, police officers and other state employees," Worthen said in a news release.

“It is outrageous that House Democrats would band together to kill a bill that would benefit so many of our retirees, many of whom are living on a fixed income,” Worthen added.
