Oklahoma Lawmakers Pledge Tax Reforms For Schools
Oklahoma City Jan 3 A proposed six percent gross production tax with a three cent minimum per barrel would be introduced by Rep Guy Massey to fund common school needs. One third would go to schools, one third to state expenses, one twelfth to county funds, one twelfth to roads, and one sixth to a sinking fund. Massey seeks $1.5 million for weak school funds and notes increased schools but lower oil revenue. A separate bill would credit one cent of gasoline tax to the common school fund, potentially about $1.6 million yearly.
