Reversing a number of campaign pledges, Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry on Saturday vetoed S.B. 507, a measured passed by both houses of his legislature to reform Oklahoma's tort law.

Glenn Coffee, the Republican Co-President pro-tem of the Senate said, "The governor missed a grand opportunity to send a message to the nation that Oklahoma is pro-jobs, pro-doctor, and pro-business. Instead, he sent a message that millionaire trial lawyers are still running the show.”
