Tonight, I watched the “Oklahoma News Report.” I have been watching ONR more frequently in the run up to the mid-term elections. It comes on at 6:30 pm – the same time as “Wheel of Fortune,” but it is on OETA.
The reporter, Dick Pryor, said that the state legislature had decided to not look into the tax exemptions granted to the oil and gas industry and other industries in the state. Wow! I guess we know who is calling the shots in Oklahoma.
Mary Fallin, the Republican candidate for governor, has called for the elimination of the state income tax. This tax accounts for 40% of all state revenue. Would she try to replace it with another revenue source? Mary is leading in the polls and it looks like she will be the next governor. It will be interesting to see what she does once she is sworn in to office.
