"Governor's Tax Cut Proposal Sparks Controversy and Debate in Oklahoma"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Frontier
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt's claims about tax cuts and their impact on the state's savings, taxation on groceries, median income growth, and the risk to state services have been fact-checked. While it is true that Oklahoma has record savings, it is misleading as the state's ability to maintain savings depends on various factors. Oklahoma is indeed one of 12 states that tax groceries. The claim about median income growth is mixed, as it doesn't account for income disparities. Stitt's claim that cutting taxes won't put state services at risk is false, as past budget failures and agency shortfalls have necessitated tax increases. Eliminating the state tax on groceries would benefit lower-income individuals who spend a larger portion of their income on groceries.
