Gov. Kevin Stitt wants the state to live within its means in the state budget he has proposed for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Stitt on Monday unveiled his executive budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year an $8.3 billion budget that includes socking away $300 million in state savings accounts.
“We ve taken a conservative approach with the fiscal year ‘22 budget as the country and Oklahoma will continue to navigate unknowns in the wake of the pandemic,” said Amanda Rodriguez, the state’s chief financial officer. “What is known is we will continue ensuring every dollar matches the value and vision of Oklahoma becoming a top 10 state.”
