Cities Lobby Against Sales Tax

Wikipedia

Several Oklahoma cities have passed resolutions urging residents to vote against a state sales tax for education, but questions have been raised about their legality. Residents will vote on a one-cent sales tax for public education on Nov. 8. Oklahoma City's city attorney advised against it, citing a state attorney general's 1991 opinion that said the use of public funds to oppose or support an initiative is prohibited.
