Eddie Wyant Chairman, District Attorneys Council President, Oklahoma District
Attorneys Association District Attorney, Miami, Oklahoma 918-542-5547
District Attorneys Budget: $81 million. State appropriations: $38 million.
• Need $1.2 million to complete critical needs request • Bogus check still in serious decline • District 2 is furloughing • Revenues have not kept pace with increasing health
insurance costs • Average salary for a prosecutor: $65,000
District Attorneys have
increasingly become check
collectors, probation
officers, investigators, grant
writers and civil forfeiture
attorneys in an attempt to
keep the doors open.
“Prosecutor” continues to
fall further and further
down the list.
More than HALF the funds used to fund basic functions are generated by District Attorneys. District Attorneys now begin each day worrying not about the murder case their office will try, but about how they will fund a prosecutor to handle it.
Two Serious Outcomes:
•We will lose outstanding District Attorneys, whose constant worry about paying staff prevents them from focusing on effective prosecution. •We are failing the people of the State of Oklahoma, by forcing prosecutors to hire lower costly lawyers with less experience. If your child was raped or murdered, wouldn’t you want the best in the courtroom?
