OKLAHOMA CITY —  A new report shows how much Oklahoma legislators received from individuals, trade groups and political action committees related to the oil and gas industry.

A report from Oklahoma Watch shows that sitting lawmakers took in more than $683,000 in campaign donations from January 2015 to March 2017 from the oil and gas industry.

Republicans received more than 90 percent of those donations.

During the battle to balance the state’s budget, Democrats have accused Republicans of catering to the oil and gas industry’s wishes.
