Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt indicated Friday that he would continue vetoing unrelated bills until the House and Senate agree on school choice and tax cuts.
Stitt vetoed 20 unrelated Senate bills this week, all with the same message.
"Until we get tax cuts, until we get parent choice done, we are not going to do all this other stuff for lobbyists and special interest groups," Stitt said at his weekly news conference. "Let's get those things done and then we will be happy to talk about some other things in the budget."
The House and Senate have passed two versions of the school choice bill this week.
House Bill 1934 would give tax credits that parents can use to send their children to the school of their choice. The bill has tiered income requirements.
Parents with a household income of $75,000 or less would receive $7,500, the largest credit. The smallest credit, $5,000, would go to household incomes of $250,000 or less. The bill caps the amount of tax credits at $150 million the first year and increases the cap in subsequent years.

How refreshing to see a governor adhere to his campaign promises! He took office in 2020 so I assume he has been working on these issues from day one.
I found an article (linked below) from 2018 which, given the slanted narrative of the article, indicated that the teacher's union and the media were working together to defeat him. But he was obviously elected anyway and seems to be standing tall against the democrats. Maybe some locals from Oklahoma can chime in on the issues.

Good for him.
He’s the only one fighting to repeal the grocery tax that I can remember
Having to twist their arms and legs
He’s been trying to get some inflation relief for voters since President Retard seized power and ruined the economy
Good.
Stitt is a slimy politician, but his showboating sometimes works for good.
He never even held office until his first term
Go crawl back under your rock you obviously know nothing about him
This is AWESOME! I’ve never heard of this strategy used before, ESPECIALLY by a Republican against Democrats! I will love to hear the leftist wails and screams this triggers.
No he’s using this against stubborn *Republicans*
We own this state
Sales tax on groceries ensure that everyone contributes. Everyone.
never liked this guy, but i like this. this is why you don’t need a line item veto. if you do this, it’s as effective.
hope this time it’s a real commitment not more gopey big talk.
Thanks for the clarification. I keep hoping our Governor Little in Idaho would act like this.
And he’s cutting off public libtard tax funded TV
“ This week, Stitt vetoed the bill that would continue funding for OETA, saying the channel shows inappropriate content.
“That to me is an outdated system, it may have had its place in 1957. Why are we spending taxpayer dollars to prop up the OETA? It makes no sense to me. I don’t think Oklahomans want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids,” said Stitt.”
I wish he had a couple more terms to really clean up crap
He is the Romney of the South/Southwest, playing to his audience.
You sound jealous. Did you cry when Stitt signed Constitutional Carry?
😢
He sounds like a fine choice for Trump’s VP.
He’s just the opposite of Romney else you wouldn’t be here acting stupid
“ Here is a list of shows the governor’s office sent that they found inappropriate on OETA:
Parents Defend Child Transitions on PBS
OETA Airs Animated Kids Program “Work it Out Wombats!”, Features Lesbian Parents
2020 Episode of “Clifford the Big Red Dog” Featured Gay Marriage, Nominated for GLAAD Award
OETA Offering Pride Month Programming
“LGBTQIA2S+” Voices
Attempt to “Dismantle Stereotypes” by Shining Light on Christian Drag Queen with “The Gospel of Eureka”
Numerous Children’s Shows Featuring Gay Couples

If not for Stitt I wouldn’t be able to run over antifa if they attack my car.
I can open carry I can conceal carry Imcan carry in my car I can carry far.
Suck it up
And now we’re an unborn baby sanctuary states which has already saved more innocent lives than you could even hope to count
He got misled when he went to war with the tribes over the gaming compact renewal.
Other than that, pretty great gov.
