Although Dunn did not name the official when he made the comments during a speech to the chamber Thursday, it was understood to be Doerflinger because of recent comments he has made.

The two Facebook posts — one on Doerflinger’s own page and one on Dunn’s — used the hashtags “really?,” “outoftouch,” “ohthearrogance” and “disingenious,” apparently to describe Dunn.

Neither Dunn nor the chamber responded to requests for comment Friday.

As state revenue has flattened and fallen in recent years, Doerflinger and other members of Gov. Mary Fallin’s administration, as well as the Republican legislative leadership, have found themselves defending the income-tax cuts they championed.

Declining revenue, they maintain, is the result of plummeting energy prices, not tax reductions. But they have acknowledged that other incursions on the tax base, such as tax credits, need to be reassessed.

On Thursday, Dunn said, “Many elected officials, to some degree, have their judgment clouded by that omnipresent intoxicant — re-election.”

Doerflinger is an appointed, not elected official.
