Oklahoma City Protest Seeks Halt on State Board Wages
Senator Campbell Russell of the People Power league filed a formal protest with State Auditor Leo Meyer against paying salary vouchers to sixteen chief employees of Oklahoma's state board of agriculture. The action follows shifts by President G T Bryan reversing the old board's dismissals, while questions about the board's legal status and authority persist.
