WAKE UP OKLAHOMA! Revenues are falling, roads and bridges failing, school funding shrinking .... and our legislature wants to cut taxes. Lets not be at the bottom of the list. Lets help Oklahoma be better. Ask your legislators to vote NO on SB 1246 and HB 2508 and stop these bills before they reach the governor for her signature. Here are some suggested talking points: Don’t cut my taxes, fund my services! It’s better for Oklahomans and better for the economy to keep the revenue for schools, public health and safety, and other important services. Triggering automatic tax cuts whenever revenue grows is irresponsible. Oklahoma could face a natural disaster, spiking health care costs, court mandates, or who knows what. Lawmakers can’t predict the future, so they shouldn’t be putting the budget on auto-pilot. A minimal revenue increase is the wrong trigger. We should have no tax cuts until we’re reducing our class sizes, paying teachers and state employees adequately, and maintaining public buildings. Make it personal! Can you think of other benchmarks for Oklahoma to meet before we cut taxes again?
