Oklahoma Mayors Taking Over State Legislature
Mayors from across Oklahoma are meeting this morning at the State
Capitol. These city leaders are creating a legislative agenda for the
2013 Legislative Session.
They are convening for a one day
Legislative Session. The idea is to help develop legislative priorities
for municipalities and develop solutions to bring to the state
legislature.
This year, city leaders will focus on six areas, ranging from
transportation to public safety to workers compensation to community and
economic development. From these issues, the congress of mayors will
develop six resolutions to be presented to the Oklahoma Legislature.
The mayor of Perry, Charles Hall, will serve as the Honorary Speaker of the House for this event.
He says they will focus on the problems that are close to home.
Mayor Hall says, "the state of Oklahoma has a lot
of problems that state legislators will address, but we want our
legislature leaders to understand the problems on main street."
More than 80 mayors are expected to participate.

Okla. grand jury returns new charges on ex-judge
May 23, 2013 23:32 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury has returned new indictments against a former Lincoln County judge who already faces embezzlement and cattle theft charges.
The grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday against 47-year-old Craig S. Key of Chandler.
Key turned himself in last month to Lincoln County authorities who set bond at $10,000.
One indictment accuses Key of harboring a fugitive by allegedly encouraging a client facing criminal charges in Lincoln and Jefferson counties to flee the state to avoid prosecution.
Another charges Key with five counts of delivery of a forged note and accuses him of forging the name of a woman whose signature was required on escrow account checks that Key was also required to sign.
Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, says the additional indictments are no surprise.
