State Chamber on Gov. Stitt’s State of State
We fully support Governor Stitt’s vision that Oklahoma’s strength lies in its thriving business environment, and we are encouraged by his renewed commitment to our shared vision of making Oklahoma the best state in America to start, run, and grow a company. The governor’s call to increase career readiness for Oklahoma students, as well as highlighting the importance of internships and apprenticeships, is an important step to increasing workforce participation. It is essential that Oklahoma’s schools and businesses work together to create more of these valuable opportunities, ensuring our state’s workforce is prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Business courts can be a valuable asset to Oklahoma. A venue where business disputes can be decided swiftly and fairly is vital so that businesses can spend more time doing what they do best, innovating and investing in their communities, not getting caught up in a courtroom.
As Oklahoma’s leaders evaluate potential tax cuts this session, we encourage them to prioritize reforms that will enhance the competitiveness of the state’s tax code. By doing so, we can unlock opportunities for economic growth and development, all while ensuring a balanced and sustainable approach to tax reform.
