State Rep. Terry O’Donnell is accused of pushing through a bill allowing legislators’ wives to become state tag agents, soon after which his wife was appointed as one
Just three months after the bill was signed into law, Teresa was appointed to take over the Catoosa Tag Agency, which her mother, Georgia McAfee, had run for more than four decades. Although Teresa had worked at her mother’s tag agency,, she lied on an application submitted to the Oklahoma Tax Commission stating she managed daily office operations and oversaw four clerks. In reality, the grand jury said it found, she only worked there part-time.
Not only did the bill allow O’Donnell’s wife to become tag agent, it also increased the prices that tag agencies could charge for a number of services. The grand jury alleged O’Donnell included that provision in the legislation “knowing full well that he had a personal or private interest in both the present operation of the [tag agency] by his mother-in-law … and by his wife … and therefore he had an additional personal or private interest in promoting and obtaining such a change of law.
