Democrat's Allegation Refuted

Rep. Al McAffrey, D-Oklahoma City, said today that, "Only weeks after pay raises for staff in the Senate President Pro Tem’s office raised a public outcry, one staffer, former legislator Fred Morgan, actually received an additional 37 percent pay increase, bringing his current salary to over $186,000."

But Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee's director of communications, Randy Swanson, said McAffrey apparently miscalculated Morgan's pay: 'They took Fred’s one-month salary and multiplied it by 12. He’s paid more during session, and less during interim. He has not gotten another raise."
