Senator Charlie Laster designated

In a press release two weeks ago, the Senate Democratic Caucus in Oklahoma selected Senator Charles Laster to be the next President Pro Tempore of the senate. Senator Laster is the current co-floor leader. He will succeed current President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan in November of 2008, when Senator Mike Morgan leaves office. Senator Laster aims to return senate control to the Democrats in 2009. Additionally, he will also be working with Senator Tom Adelson to help lead the Democratic caucus in the future.
