Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, issued the following statement following Gov. Kevin Stitt’s signing of the FY25 Budget:
“We appreciate Gov. Stitt honoring his commitment to sign and support a strong budget made possible due to the economic environment created by Conservative leadership in the House.
Overall, spending is down 5.3% compared to last year, while only exercising 89% of overall budget authority. The House is proud to have championed, for a third straight year, a personal income tax cut and a path to zero as future revenues rise, in addition to the repeal of the states grocery tax. We appreciate Gov. Stitt’s support of these efforts as well, and hope to see them prioritized in the future.”
Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, today issued the following statement after the governor signed the state budget for FY ’25.
“I am proud the Senate showed true leadership in the budget transparency process and pleased the governor decided to sign it into law, while backing down from a tax cut that would have put the state on an unsustainable financial path for future legislators. I’m also proud to have co-authored the largest tax cut in state history in eliminating the state portion of the grocery tax. Once it goes into effect, it will represent more money in the pockets of all 4 million Oklahomans.” – Pro Tem Greg Treat
