Bill Settle, Oklahoma State Representative
http://www.geocities.com/solomon_thomas_barney/settlebill.jpg
Bill was born in 1937, not 1929, I have 1929, because of the ged.com
file cut off date of 1930.
Born in Tulsa on the 30th anniversary of Oklahoma's statehood, Bill was
the first of five children born to Judge J.R. and Portia Settle. His mother's
great-great-Grandfather, John Porter, first came to the territory in the 1820s.
John's grandson, Pleasant Porter, was born on a farm near Clarksville, and
served as Chief of the Creek Nation from 1899 until his death in 1907.
Bill earned his bachelors degree in education at Northeastern State
University in Tahlequah, and then taught history and social studies for four
years in several different public schools.
After earning his law degree from the University of Tulsa College of Law, Bill
entered the practice of law with his father in Muskogee. In 1967, Settle was
appointed an assistant federal prosecutor, and was promoted to U.S. Attorney
in January 1969.
Returning to private law practice in Muskogee in 1970, Bill helped create the
criminal justice program at his alma mater, Northeastern State University. For
20 years, Bill served as an adjunct professor, teaching criminal justice and
paralegal courses.
Bill became chairman of the Muskogee County Democratic Party in 1970, a
post he held until 1975. Appointed in 1981 to fill a vacancy on the Muskogee
City Council, Settle was twice re-elected by his constituents, where he served
until 1990.
He was elected in 1990 to the Oklahoma House for District 13, representing
the western part of Muskogee, and Taft, Wainwright, Oktaha, Summit, Martin,
McClain, Keefeton and Warner. One of the first freshmen to be appointed vice
chairman of a committee, Bill also has chaired three major committees,
including Judiciary and Criminal Justice.
Bill currently serves as chairman of the Appropriations and Budget Committee,
which is responsible for producing a balanced budget each year. He was a leader
in requiring insurance companies to cover mammograms, mastectomies and
extended hospital stays for childbirth and authored a $ 160 million expansion for
the Fort James plant, creating over 120 new jobs.
