CSE Tax Pledge Shapes ’03 Oklahoma Agenda
This election, Oklahoma CSE volunteer activists asked all state candidates to sign a pledge promising not to raise taxes during the next legislative session. Using e-mail, phone calls, and community walks, CSE informed all of its 4,700 Oklahoma members of the pledge results.
Art Curtis, the volunteer leader of Oklahoma CSE, said “These legislators took a principled stand during the election season. Together, they form the first defense against higher taxes in Oklahoma. We look forward to working with them over the next two years to find ways to solve Oklahoma’s budget crisis by cutting spending, not raising taxes.”
Oklahoma CSE will also begin collecting signed pledges from state legislators who were not up for reelection this year.
