Enid's Sales Tax To Increase Jan. 1
This town is ate up with money
Am I right that this State Question No.779 states that 69-1/2% of these monies will be apportioned among all the several common school districts of the State and it further states that 86.33% of the additional funds provided will be used to increase teacher salaries and otherwise address and prevent teachers and certified instructional staff shortages…………………
Further statements say these will not supplant other education funding. Since this will be a state question, if it passes, it guarantees teacher salaries will be increased at least $5000 greater than listed the most recent year.
Since this will be a State law, does it not ensure teachers will benefit from its passage and results as those from lottery monies will be unlawful?
I have not read this one yet.
10% sales tax? that is insane…..will drive away your new families and those on fixed incomes for sure! I am sure OK will remain taxing food unlike some of the neighboring states…shame…..
When will the sales increase for Enid going to start? After Christmas?
I would take Enid sale taxs over our high tax for such a small town!! Our tax is 9.8% right now until
It goes to 10% in January. I wish people will stop complaining!! Other states is much high then Oklahoma.
Love how schools.and.public safety get the least amount and general operating fund aka pay raise for higher ups
