Gov. Mary Fallin heckled at speech

Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma | KRMG (Russell Mills)

OKLAHOMA CITY — Governor Mary Fallin delivered her final State of the State address to Oklahoma legislators Monday.

As Gov. Fallin finished her speech, a woman holding a toddler accused Fallin of being a "liar and murderer."

The heckler shouted from the gallery before House sergeants were able to usher her out of the chamber.

The speech was her eighth and final State of the State address.

“The Oklahoma Senate appreciates Governor Fallin’s emphasis on solving our budget issues,” said Oklahoma Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Schulz, R-Altus.

Schulz says we can’t only focus on revenue.

“We need to implement budgetary reforms and prioritize our spending to ensure the most efficient use and best return on each tax dollar collected.”
