This bill would offer tax credits to companies that invest money to create jobs in rural parts of Oklahoma.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill tries to help rural towns by giving tax breaks to companies that invest there. Supporters say it will create much-needed jobs outside the big cities. But without seeing the fine print, it is hard to know if the new jobs will be worth the lost tax money. We need to watch closely to make sure everyday taxpayers do not end up footing the bill for corporate giveaways.
