Tax Reform Slogan Prompts Oklahoma League Proposals
The Citizens' Protective League, meeting in Oklahoma City, endorses two tax relief bills and a constitutional amendment. Proposals cut maximum levies to twelve mills for most purposes, allow local extra levies, eliminate township offices, merge county functions, and establish a commission form of government with recall provisions. Aiming to save up to fifty percent in local government costs, the plan also consolidates state offices and trims deputies and assistants. The bills and amendment will be published after committee refinement.
