State grocery tax voted out

[CHenry]

Things like school bond elections and municipal bond elections can raise your taxes even if the valuation only goes up 3% or less.

I dont think that's right but I can't argue, cause I'm not sure.

Yeah, seems like those always pass because they are FOR THE CHILL-DREN!

The bill doesn't eliminate all sales tax at grocery stores. I was listening to KRMG in Tulsa today. They said items cooked in grocery stores and sold to consumers will be taxed. I'm assuming things like rotisserie chicken and items from a salad bar or hot food to be eaten in the store. Not sure of all the details as I just got a snippet.

I don't know much about the details of this "tax cut," however -
Could the store place those cooked items in a cooler by the cash registers (I'm looking at you, rotisserie chicken and chicken nuggets) and just like that "Oh no, it isn't cooked food. It has to be re-heated, you see." So voila it's magically eligible for purchase with SNAP after all...)

I don't know. I got a 10 second report from the radio station news.

There are a lot of items sold in grocery stores that are not food too. I would imagine those items will still be taxed. I wonder if beer and wine is considered food? :-)

Here is an example of how my property taxes are distributed.
264.18---City of Warr Acres
63.89---City-County Health
387.03---Francis Tuttle Career Tech 21
128.27---Metro Library
272.82---Oklahoma County
102.12---Oklahoma Countywide Schools
1,688.46---Putnam City Schools
When Warr Acres voted for a GO Bond that passed it added that 264.18 to my property taxes for 20 years to retire the bond and when voters pass a Putman City School bond proposal that amount goes up even though my valuation would have not increased my taxes that amount. Those are just a couple of examples.

Fast food will still be taxed for those that don't cook their own meals.

You’ve probably got a letter a looked at your sewer bill for Warr Acres. I have a house there that my Ex lives in that I help with the bills. They F’d up big time.

IIRC, it becomes effective in late August.

Oklahoma Senate passes grocery tax cut bill, which now heads to governor's desk

With all the businesses fleeing New York, Oklahoma is in a position to build a stronger tax base. Eliminating the grocery taxes and state income taxes would go a long way to attract new businesses to the state.
