In her State of the State speech, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said she wanted to increase taxes in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, she was able to get her plan sent to her desk. The tax on a pack of cigarettes will soon be $2.53 in OK, the highest in the region. You have to drive all the way to CA, MN, or PA to find a higher tax. This is disturbing to me as OK is known as one of the freest states in the nation.
Americans for Tax Reform sent her a letter telling her that her plan violates here Pledge, but she signed her bill anyway.
