In 2004, Oklahoma voters approved a series of measures that created the Oklahoma Education Lottery (SQ 705 & SQ 706), authorized and regulated gaming (SQ 712) and increased tobacco taxes (SQ 713) to generate new revenues to help fund education and health care. In these revised and updated 1-page fact sheets, we look at how these revenue sources operate, the amount of annual revenue collections from each source and where the revenues have been allocated.

Numbers You Need is a monthly publication from OK Policy that presents key data on the state's economy, work force, human services, and budget in one concise easy-to-read fact sheet.

An OK Policy brief titled "Let There Be Light: Making Oklahoma's Tax Expenditures More Transparent and Accountable" makes the case for increasing disclosure and scrutiny of tax expenditures, the array of exemptions, credits, deductions, and the like in the tax code that allow taxes not to be paid when they otherwise would.
