Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt has signed an income tax cut into law, accomplishing his main goal of the legislative session with days to spare. The quarter-point cut will reduce Oklahoma's income tax rate to 4.5% for most earners, while costing the state between $160 million and $300 million a year in lost revenue, according to varying estimates. Stitt has long pressed for reducing income taxes and reached a deal this year with the Republican-led Legislature to make it happen.
