Stitt touts support from fiscal conservative groups on special session tax relief plan

GOVERNOR STITT’S CALL TO DELIVER REAL RELIEF, RIGHT NOW DRAWS BROAD SUPPORT

OKLAHOMA CITY (May 26, 2022) – Governor Kevin Stitt’s call for the Legislature to deliver Oklahomans real relief, right now is being praised by a broad coalition.

Americans for Prosperity Oklahoma State Director John Tidwell:

"While the Oklahoma economy is stronger than the national economy, the Biden-Harris administration’s inflation policies are killing opportunity.  Oklahoma families are having a hard time making ends meet and one-time, California-style rebates are not the answer. People deserve lasting relief in the form of permanent income tax cuts for individuals and families.

Conservative Political Action Coalition Chairman Matt Schlapp:

“In this Biden-inflicted economic crisis, families desperately need tax relief. But mimicking Obama’s cash for clunkers program or Pelosi’s COVID cash giveaway is not the best way to help Oklahomans. We support Governor Kevin Stitt’s fiscal discipline and his pro-growth policy agenda, which will help families weather the storm and keep the state on track for future growth.”

Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist:

“Thanks to Governor Stitt’s leadership, the legislature has a second chance to get proven, conservative tax reforms done. Oklahomans are struggling with inflation and the best relief is to let them keep more of their hard-earned dollars.”

FULL ATR STATEMENT

Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson:

“Oklahomans and their families don’t want their elected officials to rubber-stamp flawed legislation so they have a talking point during the next election – they want real relief from the problems they are facing at the gas pump, in the grocery store, or as they try to pay rent or purchase their first homes. Thanks to Governor Stitt and his new plan, Oklahomans have a real leader they can count on to fight for them and their families.”
