The governor says he wants lawmakers to deliver on a tax cut to put Oklahoma on the path to zero income taxes and a trigger law focusing on tax fairness. Stitt also wants a measure to increase transparency in the budget process for Oklahomans.
"We have one job – to serve and protect all four million Oklahomans," Stitt said in a news release. "I’m calling on the Legislature to fight for Oklahomans and demand fairness and transparency in our tax system and our budget process. I am also calling on the Legislature to put Oklahoma on a path to zero income tax and give Oklahomans a much-needed tax break. If not now, when?"
The special session is scheduled to start Oct. 3.
