    Episode 17: Mike Mazzei's Tax Plan Doesn't Add Up

    Mike Mazzei promises to eliminate Oklahoma's state income tax. Sounds great. But when you look at the details, does his plan actually add up? In this episode of Bold Ideas with Gentner Drummond, Gentner explains why he supports cutting taxes—but only if it can be done responsibly without hurting public safety, education, roads, or other essential services. Then Oklahoma House Majority Leader Mark Lawson takes a deep dive into Mazzei's proposal, explaining why he believes it would shift the tax burden onto Oklahoma families through higher sales taxes, new taxes on goods and services, and increased costs for seniors, farmers, businesses, and working families. Conservative leadership isn't about campaign slogans. It's about telling the truth, making responsible decisions, and delivering results for Oklahoma. Watch the full breakdown and decide for yourself. 👉 Learn more and get involved: DrummondOK.com Election Dates August 10: Deadline to request an absentee ballot August 20: Early voting begins August 25: Republican Runoff Election Subscribe for more episodes of Bold Ideas with Gentner Drummond. #GentnerDrummond #OklahomaGovernor #OklahomaPolitics #TaxReform #BoldIdeas  DrummondOK.com/podcast
