Cargill tells Henry, Dems to quit political posturing

The Red Dirt Reporter was in a press conference Wednesday with House Speaker Lance Cargill, R-Harrah, and listened to the speaker complain that Gov. Brad Henry won't approve appropriations bills that mirror his own executive budget.

I loved this quote: "It's the theater of the absurd when the governor won't take yes for an answer."

He added that he welcomes ideas from Gov. Henry and the Democrats, yet was sticking to his guns.
"Why won't the governor submit a plan? What does he have to hide?" asked Cargill, adding, "I think it'd be worthwhile for the governor to submit a plan."

Here's the AP account of Cargill's press conference.
