TWO NEW DRILLING
LOCATIONS STAKED
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) - Gov. Henry BeUmon
issued an executive order Wednesday night instructing
agency heads to comply with the recent attorney general’s
opinion concerning funding of special interest projects.
“We have issued this executive order as promptly as
possible in order to avoid further delay in the provision of
legal public services,” Bellmon said.
In an opinion issued Monday, Atty. Gen. Robert Henry
said the law gives no authority for legislators to make in-
formal agreements to fund so-called pork-barrel projects
with money given to agencies as part of their regular
appropriations.
He said any special project lists given to agency heads
by legislative leaders were void, and implementing such
lists could lead to litigation.
In his executive order, Bellmon said "each executive
agency shall comply with Attorney General Opinion 87-100
when funding, from appropriations for the general opera-
tion of the agency, specific projects that principally benefit
a particular locality.”
Before making any special project awards, an agency
must determine that it has statuatory authority to make
the award, Bellmon said. He also said such awards must
be made “in a manner that is not arbitrary and capricious.”
The governor also said that once an agency determines
that a local project should be funded it must provide infor-
mation on the project and the funding to the Office of State
Finance.
Henry said once money is given to agencies it is up to
agency officials to dole out the money according to
established rules and criteria. He said the money cannot
be spent on special interest projects based only on a list or
an agreement provided by a small group of legislators.
The opinion was requested by Representative Joe
Heaton of Oklahoma City. Heaton objected to the practice
of powerful Democratic House leaders inserting about $4
million into the budgets of several agencies, including the
Department of Commerce.
No purpose was listed for the money when it was
appropriated by the Legislature, but legislative leaders
planned later to provide a list of special projects. The
leaders intended that money to be spent on those projects
only.
