Pricetag for State Question 744: $1.7 BILLION

According to a study by the Oklahoma Policy Institute, the pricetag for State Question 744 (if it passes in November) will be $1.7 billion.  If you want to know more, check out the post at Oklahomans for Responsible Government.

Now, once you get past the price tag, remember that it has no funding source. This means that the State of Oklahoma will either have to raise taxes or cut services to make up for that shortfall, in addition to the shortfall created for 2012 by the 2011 budget. By the way, your legislators will NOT control Oklahoma's budget.
