TULSA, OK -- At least one Oklahoma congressman has changed his mind on the proposed bailout bill.

Earlier this week, the state's congressional delegation split 3 - 2 when the bailout was defeated Monday.

First District congressman John Sullivan has changed his mind and says he's now voting for the bill. Sullivan says the revised plan is a better deal for taxpayers.

Sullivan says since Monday's vote, he's heard from numerous business owners who say without the bailout, Oklahoma jobs will be in jeopardy.

Sullivan says supporting the bailout will be "one of the toughest votes in his political career."

Mary Fallin and Frank Lucas also voted against the bailout bill on Monday.  Aides say Fallin and Lucas are still reviewing the plan passed by the Senate and haven't made up their minds.
