Oklahoma House Braces for Close Vote on Tax Bill and Hospital Bond
Oklahoma City sources report the House faces a fierce and close vote on a controversial sales tax exemption for farm materials and machinery. Speaker J. D. McCarty and Rep. H. L. Sparks predict a tough, near-even outcome. The chamber also advanced a $7 million bond plan to fund a 600-bed teaching hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, to be matched by $15 million in federal funds, with retirement tied to cigarette tax revenue. A separate wheat marketing bill proposes a 22 mill levy per bushel to fund research and development.
