By The Numbers: Oklahoma Congressional Delegation’s Assets Outlined
Most members of Oklahoma congressional delegation have assets topping $1 million
By Chris Casteel
WASHINGTON — Oklahoma’s senators didn’t see much cash from the books they published last year, but they still garnered some healthy income outside of Congress.
And financial disclosure reports submitted by Oklahoma lawmakers show a freshman who built his own business before winning a House seat may now be the wealthiest member of the state’s congressional delegation.
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, reported $2,822 in royalties from his book, “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future.” The senator’s book sold about 10,000 copies.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, reported no royalties from “The Debt Bomb: A Bold Plan to Stop Washington from Bankrupting America.”
