Oops

Probably a good idea of the Gov's daughter isn't lobbying her mother for special projects.  Besides, I'm sure Huddleston was doing it to buy influence anyway.  Maybe his had to talk to Fallin Sr. because his father was haunting him, who knows...  I for one am sad about this - because contrary to everyone else I think Christina is kinda hot in that Suicide Girls kinda way and she made the capitol more enjoyable.  I'm rooting for that to be her new job.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's new Republican Gov. Mary Fallin says her daughter Christina will no longer work as a lobbyist at the state Capitol.

She's already hard at work OFFENDING the Constitution.  You go gurl.

"I think it's wrong," said Republican State Representative Mike Reynolds. Reynolds also has concerns over the appointment of his fellow Republican. He's asked the state's attorney general to look into the case. "If someone offered me a job, I wouldn't take it because I took an oath to defend the constitution," said Reynolds. "In my reading of the constitution, it's very plain language. You cannot take a job for two years after you leave office." The state constitution prohibits lawmakers from working for a state agency if their salary is authorized or appropriated by the state legislature.

Sure is hard to bring business to Oklahoma when companies look at our state and go - THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS!

During Monday's inauguration, Governor Mary Fallin said her administration will be focused on creating jobs. But could the stumbling block to this goal come from fellow Republicans?

Chamber President Roy Williams says businesses don't want to risk angering their customers and employees by going to a hostile environment. "Companies have told (Arizona business development officials) directly, they've canceled expansion plans of existing plans within Arizona," Williams says. "We've also heard them tell us that site location consultants have been told by their clients to take Arizona off the list."
