Sen. Randy Brogdon wants Gov. Brad Henry to refuse a presidential appointment to a council on governors.

Brogdon, R-Owasso, and Rep. Charles Key, R-Oklahoma City, have filed a concurrent resolution to express their disdain for the presidential appointment.

Henry, a Democrat, was appointed to the council by President Barack Obama last week.  Governors on the council would collaborate with the White House on issues on emergencies, matters involving the National Guard, civil emergencies and a variety of other things. The council includes 10 governors — five democrats, 5 Republicans.

Henry’s spokesman, Paul Sund, says it’s a moot point because Henry has already accepted the appointment.
