OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A candidate for state treasurer and nine who are running for state House or Senate seats have faced various tax payment problems in the past five years.

A review of public records by The Oklahoman found the list includes Daniel Keating of Tulsa who's running for the Republican nomination for treasurer.

Keating owed more than $16,000 in overdue income taxes. Keating says he didn't' know about the taxes until refinancing a mortgage and has paid the bill.

Others include state House candidates Ed Holzberger, Janice Drewry, Brian McLaughlin, Larry Jefferson, Jack Rankin, Doyle Lewis, Patrick Guinn and Representative Lance Cargill.

Also on the list is state Senator Randy Bass.
