A dark money group with ties to Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has been revealed as the force behind a recent advertisement supporting Stitt’s proposed tax cuts. The advertisement, which aired on local television station KFOR in Oklahoma City, promotes Stitt’s plan to decrease the state’s income tax rate.
Dark money groups are organizations that do not disclose their donors, allowing them to operate with little transparency. The group behind the ad, Americans for Limited Government, has previously been linked to Stitt through the involvement of his former campaign manager and a former top aide in the organization.
The advertisement features testimonials from individuals praising Stitt’s tax cut plan for its potential to stimulate the economy and attract businesses to the state. However, critics argue that the benefits of these tax cuts would primarily go to the wealthy while reducing much-needed revenue for essential public services.
Stitt’s tax cut proposal has faced opposition from Democratic lawmakers and various advocacy groups who argue that it would primarily benefit the rich and lead to cuts in education and other vital services. The revelation of Americans for Limited Government’s involvement in promoting the tax cuts only adds fuel to these concerns.
Despite the controversy surrounding the source of the advertisement, Governor Stitt continues to advocate for his tax cut plan, citing the need to make Oklahoma more competitive with neighboring states. The debate over the potential impact of these tax cuts on the state’s economy and budget is likely to continue as the proposal moves through the legislative process.
