After a week of speculation, Republican state leaders announced Thursday afternoon a high-level agreement on an $8.3 billion budget.
Gov. Kevin Stitt said the plan goes back to goals he laid out in February during his state of the state address. No. 1 was to make Oklahoma a top-10 place for business, No. 2 was to deliver Oklahomans more for their money and No. 3 was always to invest in our fellow Oklahomans, and I believe this budget has accomplished all three of those items, Stitt said.
Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat said the plan for fiscal year 2022 looks a lot different than the one for FY21 announced last May during a socially distanced news conference and with more than $1 billion in cuts.
