Yet, here we have Step Up OK, tax increase proposals by elite corporate entities and wealthy individuals, and expect it to be a plus for our local economy.

Sorry, but this is a really stupid idea, fostered by folks who should know better! Raising taxes on consumers at the gas pumps, the Oil&Gas Industry, and even raising our Income Tax rates, will inhibit growth and act as a disincentive to business and individuals who may have been planning to locate here!

Show some initiative and cut spending, especially with respect to windmill subsidies, which have never been able to be self-supported anywhere! I believe I saw where OK gives Wind Energy companies $250 million in subsidies, which will never be recovered!
