When they jack the property taxes up to make up for the loss of income tax revenue, rents will definitely go right along with them. Of course, property taxes would have to go up a heck of a lot for them to be worse than the income tax.

Menz comments on 15% increase in turnpike tolls
OKLAHOMA CITY – House Rep. Annie Menz, D-Norman, released the following statement after the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority board voted unanimously to increase turnpike tolls by 15% starting in January 2025.Part of the resolution by the Turnpike Authority board includes a 6% inflation-based raise that could be implemented every other year if the board votes to approve it .
“A turnpike toll increase is something all Oklahomans should get a say on,” Menz said. “The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority should be held accountable by the legislature in order to best reflect the needs of Oklahomans. I plan to file a bill that would require legislative approval for turnpike toll increases. It is past time for OTA to have oversight from a legislature designed to be a voice for its constituents.”
Dadgum it all to heck, if she’s agin it, it might not be a bad idea after all.
There is a cost to building and maintaining highways. We can have that cost included in sales tax, property tax, state income tax, or tax on alcohol. Or we can charge for the use of those roads. Only those using the turnpikes are paying the new higher tolls, so just stay on the dirt roads if you don’t want to pay the tolls.
They should charge an extreme road tax on all semi trucks from the coast.
The problem with NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) is that there's no recourse. You can't vote them out. You just get to bend over.
