'Yes' vote on Oklahoma SQ 847 means less for streets, schools
Vote how you wish on Oklahoma State Question 847, but you should do so with a full and honest understanding of the consequences. On Nov. 3, the Oklahoma Legislature is considering State Question 847, which would significantly reduce funding for streets and education. The author argues that to increase funding for these services, residents would have to pay more in taxes. However, he also acknowledges that property taxes in Oklahoma City primarily fund these two top priorities. The impact of SQ 847 on these services will be estimated at $683 million less on streets and schools over the next 20 years. There is no legal solution to fill this financial gap under current Oklahoma law to cover the financial gap created by the law. The cost of SQ847 has not been reported since 1907, and the specific taxation method of property tax is not specified.
