Some House Republicans, led by Rep. Anthony Moore, R-Clinton, and House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, sent a letter to Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter expressing their support for his efforts to work with local and statewide law enforcement to track reported transactions by aliens or foreign entities who acquire title to real property in Oklahoma with an underlying criminal purpose. 

The letter follows after House Bill 1497, a bill that prohibits property ownership by aliens from countries that ban United States citizens from owning property in that country, passed in the House 88-5.

The following are Tulsa area lawmakers who signed on to the letter: Rep. Sheila Dills, R-Tulsa; Rep. Tom Gann, R-Inola; Rep. T.J. Marti, R-Broken Arrow; Rep. Stan May, R-Broken Arrow; Rep. Kevin McDugle, R-Broken Arrow and Rep. Mark Vancuren, R-Owasso.
