Ethics Violation? No Pension!

Oklahoma politicians forced from office due to ethical violations would lose their state pensions under legislation approved today by the State House.

House Bill 2175, by Rep. Jason Nelson, would force public officials to forgo a state pension if they are convicted of a crime related to abuse of office. The bill applies to any felony for bribery, corruption, forgery, perjury or any other crime related to the duties of office, or related to campaign contributions or campaign financing.
