Pressure Builds On McMahan To Resign

Pressure is building today on Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan to resign that post after his Saturday conviction on three felony counts in federal court.

Governor Henry has called on him to resign immediately and The Oklahoman's lead editorial today said he "must" do so.

House Speaker Chris Benge said he should resign and if he does so, he will save time and money since if he does not, a House committee formed to consider his impeachment will have to begin work. With his conviction, it seems likely the committee would recommend that Articles of Impeachment against McMahan be adopted.
