Reapportionment and Tax Boost Sparks Oklahoma Debate
Oklahoma City AP reports temper flared in the Legislature over Senate reapportionment and a proposed sales tax increase from two to three percent. The House debates continue with Gov Edmondson and Speaker McCarty signaling a final vote next week amid wavering lawmakers. Senate approves an eight seat expansion, while Senators Land and Rogers oppose based on population. Rogers argues the constitution demands population-based reapportionment, Cowden defends legislative direction. Sullivan denies authorship of a disputed anti tax statement implicated by McCarty.
