'Yes' vote on Oklahoma SQ 847 means less for streets, schools
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, you are being asked by the Oklahoma Legislature to consider significantly reducing the funding for streets and education. That's not necessarily how State Question 847 is being described to you, but that's the reality. You deserve to know what you're actually considering. On Nov. 3, the Oklahoma Legislature is considering reducing funding for streets and education, a vote that could result in less spending on these services. The author argues that while streets and schools are the primary priorities for many residents, other funding priorities include public safety and non-institutions. To increase funding for these services, residents would have to pay more in taxes. However, he also notes that property taxes in Oklahoma City primarily fund the two highest priorities - streets and school. If you vote yes on SQ 847, you will eventually be charged a little less in property tax. The impact of SQ 8 47 on Oklahoma City streets is estimated at $683 million.
