Source: Turpen Due Higher Education Seat

Former Oklahoma Attorney General and former Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman Mike Turpen, a Capitol source says late today, will be named to the Board of Regents for Higher Education, replacing Cheryl Hunter.

The source says Governor Henry has "cut a deal" with the Republican Senate leadership to assure Turpen's confirmation.

Turpen, known for his close ties to former President Bill and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is the Democratic voice on KFOR-TV's long-running "Flash Point" program.
