Oklahoma City January 22 AP The Oklahoma House moved toward final passage of Governor Phillips fiscal reform plan by approving a five mill allotment for school districts and advancing a constitutional amendment to remove tax exemptions for certain charitable and religious groups. The body rejected a state supply transfer bill and set a study of department fees and licenses. The runoff primary issue faced narrow support, with key leaders opposing.
