Oklahoma Governor's daughter forced to move trailer from state mansion

This week in weird business news…

Moving out of mom and dad’s house is tough—especially when your mother is Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin and the property is the Governor's mansion.

Fallin told “The Oklahoman” in an interview that her 28-year old daughter, Christina Fallin, has been living in a trailer behind the mansion since April. This sparked some concerns amongst Oklahomans, with one writing to local news channel KFOR to ask, “Is it true that Mary Fallin’s daughter is living in a trailer on the Governor’s mansion property? That is state property! Who is paying her bills? Oklahoma taxpayers?”

It turns out that the trailer is in violation of state policy. According to the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement Zoning Commission, a trailer cannot be kept on state property and that includes the Governor’s mansion. Christina will vacate the property by Sunday.

Governor Fallin has spoken out in defense of her daughter who was using electricity and water from the mansion. “She would be using that electricity if she lived in the house,” she said, “or if she got a drink of water out of the faucet, or if she flushed the toilet in the house."

The republican Governor also told KFOR that family comes first. "I love my family. My daughter's terrific… if she says, 'Hey, mom, I need some help,' I'm not going to turn her down."

Best of luck to Christina on the move.
