OKLAHOMA CITY -
It s a race to the finish under the state Capitol dome as lawmakers near the end of the legislative session.
With less than a month before the end of session, House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, said he’s still holding out hope the Senate will take up his plan to effectively eliminate the state’s corporate income taxes and reduce personal income tax.
“I think it’s very early to cast judgment on the level of appetite on those,” McCall said.
However, earlier this month, Senate President Pro Tem. Greg Treat, R-OKC, said, “There is not an appetite to do the corporate income tax cut in the Oklahoma state Senate, there’s not the appetite was in my caucus.”

Leaders of the Oklahoma Legislature are in the midst of a political showdown that has one conservative activist calling for the head of the state Senate to be removed from his leadership position.
Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat’s decision not to hear House Bill 1236 in its original form has the president of the powerful Oklahoma Second Amendment Association calling for Treat to be removed as Oklahoma’s top senator.
Grassroots opposition
On the Senate floor Tuesday, Treat defended his decision to amend the bill to create a unit within the attorney general’s office to evaluate federal actions and defend the state’s rights.
