Oklahoma City, OK – Okla treasurer says state revenues hit milestone
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) State Treasurer Ken Miller says Oklahoma's revenue collections have reached a milestone.
Miller says the state's revenue collections for the past 12 months topped $10 billion for the first time in almost two years. He's called a news conference for Thursday morning at the state Capitol to discuss what that number means for Oklahoma's economy.
In April, Miller said monthly receipts in all major tax categories were growing compared to the prior year. He said then the increasing collections confirmed that the state's economy was expanding at a relatively good pace.
He says that should lead to continued job growth in Oklahoma.
