Governor Stitt Statement On Inflation Relief Bills

Statement

Governor Kevin Stitt released the following statement on the inflation relief passed by the Oklahoma House of Representatives:

"Oklahoma families need inflation relief now and I am glad the House passed legislation to eliminate the state grocery sales tax and reduce personal income tax, both of which I called for in my State of the State address in February. The Senate has already passed tax cuts this year, so I am optimistic that they will join our efforts to deliver the inflation relief Oklahomans need. Since I called for this special session last month, inflation has increased to 8.6% overall, food costs are up over 10%, and President Biden's inflation crisis shows no signs of slowing down. Oklahoma families need real relief now."
