Oklahoma Opens its Checkbook for Taxpayers

Ever wanted access to the state's checkbook?  It's now right at your fingertips.  State Treasurer Ken Miller launched a new web site giving taxpayers access to state spending.  With the click of the mouse, taxpayers can see more than $6-million in transactions made by the state over the past 5-years. Miller says it encourages responsible spending by lawmakers.
Miller said, "I think it's very important that people see what we spend because it's their tax money we're spending."
The state plans to add more data to the website including state employee salaries and money paid to schools.

Judge orders Okla. pastor to trial on murder count
May 25, 2013 19:32 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A judge says the pastor of an Oklahoma City church must stand trial in the shooting death of his son-in-law.

Fifty-three-year old Michael Elder is charged in the death of 27-year-old Gary Davidson last February. Davidson was married to Elder's daughter.

The Oklahoman reports (http://bit.ly/16Wg62Z ) that Judge Ray C. Elliott on Friday ordered Elder to stand trial after Davidson's wife and girlfriend each told different stories. April Davidson said she feared for her life while fighting with Davidson in the front seat of a pickup truck. Judith Chism said Davidson was trying to exit the truck from a rear seat when he was shot.

Defense lawyers have argued Davidson fired the gun in self-defense.

Elder is senior pastor at The Cross Baptist Church. He was being held without bail.
