Advertising and Gas Taxes Advance in Oklahoma Senate
Oklahoma City. The Senate Education Committee approved bills to tax advertising revenue and earmark a natural gas production tax for school funds. A subcommittee was formed to draft a bill raising the gross production tax on natural gas and on heating gas to bolster school financing. The measures back the OFA plan for a 400 dollar teacher raise to 3 thousand a year versus the administration plan of 300 to 2,700. Publishers warn the levy would be passed to merchants. Sen. Ben Easterly predicts millions for salaries.
