OKLA. GOV. MARY FALLIN

About three months ago,The Boise City News, sent Gov.Fallin an e-mail to her officeinforming her that though we

were sure she and the FederalGovernment were helping ourfarmers, that the people ofCimarron County needed tosee her boots on the groundto know she cared. We re-ceived no answer and the Gov-ernor, has yet to visit, (Shemissed two opportunities whilecampaigning.) We offered abounty of $50 for GovernorHenry, but since Ms. Fallincarried the county and she stillhasn’t visited, The Boise CityNews will pay $25 to the per-son that proves to us she’sbeen here as governor.
