Money from the Legislative Fund must be used to get federal matching funds for Oklahoma’s Medicaid Program.

Community services: resurfacing roads 28%, rural fire departments 13%, extension and 4-H 8%, free fair 6%, Chisholm Trail Museum 4%, Hennessey and Kingfisher libraries 2%, and, County General Government – sheriff’s office 15%, 911 Emergency Calling Service 9% and general government 15%.

The Kingfisher municipal sales tax question would increase the permanent sales tax to 3 1/3% effective Jan. 1, 2021, and requires the funds to be used for the construction, improvement or expansion of the assets of the city or public trusts for which the city is the sole beneficiary.
