Amendments Affect Veterans and Corporations on Ballot
Oklahoma voters face two constitutional amendments on the July 6 primary ballot. One would let veterans buy land with farm loans backed by the State School Land Commission, based on 93 percent value and 6 percent down, with 3 percent interest, though loan terms are unspecified and critics warn of risk to the permanent school fund. The second would loosen the escheat rule to allow corporations to own real estate outside city limits for lease or sale, with agricultural land exempt, to spur industrial growth and curb out-migration. Senator Arthur Price promotes the plan, citing past restrictions and potential benefits for small businesses and regional development.
