Stitt praises Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling preserving taxes imposed on certain tribal members

OKLAHOMA CITY – Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday praised a ruling by the Oklahoma Supreme Court that said the state can impose income taxes on tribal members living and working on a reservation.

Stitt called the 6-3 ruling a big win for the state.

“Tribal governments, liberal groups, and some elected officials have pushed for special tax exemptions that would create a two-tiered system – one set of rules for tribal citizens and another for everyone else,” Stitt said. “That’s wrong. It would divide our state and weaken the public services every family relies on.”
