This mission is accomplished through a partnership with private citizens wishing to leave their footprint in our state's rich history.

    Office of Governor Brad Henry State of Oklahoma State Capitol - Oklahoma City OK 73105 405-521-2342 STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS Members of the Senate and House, Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court, Lt. Gov. Fallin, distinguished elected officials, honored guests, and my fellow Oklahomans and friends: Two days ago, our nation suffered a terrible tragedy with the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Indeed, the tragedy directly touched Oklahoma, where friends and family members of two of the lost astronauts live. Our flags fly at half staff in their honor, our hearts are heavy for their loss, but our spirits are fortified by their bravery and selflessness. Please join me in a moment of silent tribute. A few weeks ago, on the South steps of the Capitol, I asked all Oklahomans to reflect on our strengths and to seek opportunities in the current budget crisis. Let’s be reminded of our strengths as we roll up our sleeves and get to work together. This is a great state, and we must be proud and thankful for so much. But, all too often, we have accentuated the negative. We must put aside our differences and renew our faith that we can do great things. I take comfort in my family: My wife, Kim, who is my partner in life and my three daughters, Leah, Laynie and Baylee, who are in school today. They give my life meaning. Without their love and support, I could not be here. Kim, would you please stand and be recognized? I also want to note that I take comfort in the fact that I address you from the same well where great leaders once stood - like David Boren, Henry Bellmon and George Nigh.

  • Graves Resigns Corporation Commission Seat - 1997
    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.
