The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs has a terrific website, with lost of intelligent, logical articles on public policy. Their latest Perspetive offers 10 Principles for Oklahoma Fiscal Policy, and while I don't agree with all of them, they are definitely worth thinking about.

1. Above All Else Keep Taxes Low
2. Don't Penalize Earnings and Investment
3. Avoid 'Sin' Taxes
4. Create A Transparent and Accountable Budget
5. Privatize Public Sector Services
6. Avoid Corporate Subsidies
7. Cap Taxes and Expenditures
8. Fund Students, Not Schools
9. Reform Medicaid Programs
10. Protect State Employees From Politics
