Henry Said to be Close to Naming New Commissioner

Tulsa insurance agent Kim Holland and state Election Board Secretary Mike Clingman are reportedly among the candidates for the post of Oklahoma’s insurance commissioner.

The Associated Press reported that although Gov. Brad Henry has not made a decision on the person to take over the office vacated by former Commissioner Carroll Fisher, the governor expects to do so soon.

Fisher resigned in September, avoiding a looming impeachment trial in the state Senate. He still faces eight felony charges that include bribery, embezzlement, tax evasion and perjury.
