Communications Division For Immediate Release: April
25, 2005 Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan has announced that 45 of the Senate’s 48 members have been assigned to the General Conference Committee on Appropriations. “We have found in recent years that including nearly all of the members in the appropriations process allows our budget to truly reflect the values of the Oklahomans we represent,” Morgan said. “Having reached an agreement with the House on sub-committee allocations, it’s time for the heavy lifting on the budget to begin.” Morgan noted that five weeks remain in the First Session of the 50th Oklahoma Legislature. “I have complete confidence in the Senate sub-committee chairs and in their ability to work with their House counterparts to craft budgets that will allow state agencies to continue to provide critical services to the people of our state,” Morgan said. GCCA members, who are divided into five sub-committees, will join House members named to the conference committee in writing the budgets of more than 80 state agencies. In the Senate, only Morgan, Majority Leader Ted Fisher and Republican Leader Glenn Coffee were not named to the sub-committees and GCCA.
