On the Horizon: Should It Stay or Should It Go?


Tax reform is taking Oklahoma by storm and personal income tax is at the center of it all.  Governor Mary Fallin detailed her plan to reduce, and eventually phase out, personal income tax in her recent State of the State address.   While many agree tax reform needs to be on the table, not everyone is convinced reducing our state income tax is the way to go.

In this week’s video blog, University of Central Oklahoma’s, Mickey Hepner, says why we may want to think twice before reducing our income tax.

On the Horizon: To Tax or Not To Tax

We all love to hate them, but we love the benefits they provide.  Taxes may prove to be the hottest issue in the state legislature this session.  During her State of the State address, Governor Mary Fallin proposed a plan to phase out Oklahoma’s personal income tax.  The three-point plan to phase out the tax is leaving some singing her praises and others raising big questions.

In this week’s video blog, we sit down with lawmakers on both sides of the issue.
