Funding for teachers, crucial state services have been buried by the tax cut debate

The call for reducing Oklahoma's tax rates has a long and storied history.

In addition to the efforts of Gov. Kevin Stitt, the three governors who held office before him also pushed for tax cuts. During the tenure of Gov. Mary Fallin, the state's personal income-tax rate was reduced twice. And before that, governors Brad Henry, a Democrat, and Frank Keating, a Republican, passed their own tax-cut proposals.
