Mary Fallin Says Lobbyists Will Play "Vital Role" in Oklahoma's Future

Promising that they "will play a vital role in moving Oklahoma forward next year," Mary Fallin has invited lobbyists, Political Action Committees, special interest groups, and their checkbooks, to an audience before her. 

Fallin's lobbyist summit will take place 10:00 AM Wednesday, July 7th at the offices of the Oklahoma Dental Association. The invitation, signed by Fallin's Campaign Manager called lobbyists and PAC's "stakeholders in the process." 

Having already collected hundreds of thousands from special interests, the Fallin for Governor campaign is openly declaring they are the campaign catering to special interests. 

No indication was given as to why lobbyists and special interest groups deserve to play so vital a role in Oklahoma's future. Mary Fallin also failed to clarify whether lobbyist's status as "stakeholder" is intrinsic or conditional.

If Mary Fallin is elected Governor of Oklahoma, I think it is pretty obvious that she will be turning over the reins to the highest bidder as soon as she takes office.  Considering her record in Washington, that isn't unexpected at all.
