Senator Nichols Comments on Governor’s Budget Proposal

Senator Jonathan Nichols Senator Jonathan Nichols

State Sen. Jonathan Nichols, a former prosecutor, said he is concerned that Gov. Brad Henry’s proposed budget compromise does not properly fund Oklahoma’s district attorneys.

“From what I have heard of the governor’s proposal, I am concerned that district attorneys would not receive the additional funding they have requested to ensure that criminals are prosecuted and punished for their crimes. Public safety should be a priority at the State Capitol, not an after-thought,” stated Nichols, R-Norman.
