Republican State Chairman Gary Jones said this afternoon the resignation of Republican House Speaker Lance Cargill was "the right thing to do."
Jones' comments came on Mark Shannon's show on Oklahoma City radio station KTOK.
Jones said there should be no comparison to Cargill's recent publicized shortcomings and the case of Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan, Democrat, facing a federal indictment alleging corruption and campaign finance violations. Jones was McMahan's opponent in 2002 and 2006.
Jones said Cargill did "the honorable thing" in stepping aside. He said doing so removes Democrat criticism of Cargill as a roadblock to GOP legislative goals.
