Oklahoma tax plan targets ad valorem changes across counties
A proposal drafted by Tulsa County Tax Assessor Wilson Glass seeks to rebalance ad valorem assessments in Oklahoma counties. It would push counties above 15 percent of actual value to cut assessments, while those below 15 percent would raise them or hit 15 percent, with a slight rate increase in Comanche County.

U S Fish and Wildlife Service leaders Lynn Greenwalt and Roger Johnson dismissed reviving a regional park for the eastern Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
