    News Release - Graves Resigns Corporation Commission Seat - 1997 News from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission Office of Public Information -- Phone: (405) 521-4180 FAX (405) 521-6945 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Patrick K. Petree Reference: OCC51397-35 Graves Resigns Corporation Commission Seat OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Chairman Cody L. Graves announced Tuesday (May 13) that he will resign his seat on the commission effective July 1, the start of the new fiscal year. He said his decision results from an opinion by the Oklahoma attorney general that pay raises granted by the state Legislature in 1995 and 1996 are invalid because elected officials cannot receive salary adjustments during their terms of office. The two adjustments had raised Graves' salary from $50,000 to $76,000, making it equal to the salaries of the other two commissioners. The second adjustment in question raised Commissioner Bob Anthony's salary from $70,000 to $76,000. Commissioner Ed Apple was not affected since he was elected after the commissioners' salary schedule had been increased to the $76,000 level. "The burden and sacrifice of public service always falls on the families of public servants. My family has certainly given a great deal in the last six years. Given the recent attorney general's opinion regarding commissioners' salaries, I cannot ask them to sacrifice any more. It's time for me to give back to my family," Graves said. The Oklahoma Attorney General has filed for a declaratory judgment in district court to validate its opinion. The Corporation Commission will take the position in court that the Legislature's amendments to the commissioners' salaries were proper and constitutional, Jay T.

A strategic investment in science and technology will greatly benefit our state’s total economic development efforts and position the state for sustainable growth in a dynamic technology environment. OCAST, through its network of partners and alliances, including strategic partnerships with the Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance and i2E, is often described as “Oklahoma’s Innovation Model.” This model helps to build or enhance a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that becomes the foundation for increasing the state’s research and innovation agenda and capacity.
