At least three Oklahoma members of the U.S. House apparently figure if Democrats are going to bring back the controversial earmark system that the late Oklahoma U.S. Sen Tom Coburn so heavily criticized, then they want to make sure Oklahoma isn’t left off the money list.

Reps. Frank Lucas, Tom Cole and Stephanie Bice have joined those with their own funding requests and they are asking funding for road improvements, medical research and community development projects reported The Oklahoman.
