Libertarian’ Party of Oklahoma Individual] Liberty: Personal Responsibility oe Rep. Ken Miller, R-Edmmond, proposed a separate TABOR measure earlier this year that called for a ‘oie of the people on a proposed constitutional amendment to limit increases in state and local government spending. It died in the state House. ‘The initiative petition, State Question 726, relies upon the consumer price index es a formula for infation. But Miller, associate professor of economics at Oklahoma Christian University, said ‘government does not provide the same services as those measured in the CPI. “The market basket on what state government provides Is different than what the average consumer purchases,” he said. Inflation on government services is higher than the CPI, specifically in the health care and education fields. Miller said he supports constfitutonal constraints on spending but Is undecided on the TABOR petition. ATABOR-like measure by Rep. Fred Morgan, R-Oklahoma City, would lower the state's existing ‘cap on increases in siate spending. The state Constitution limits increases in state spending to 12 percent a year. Morgan's bill would reduce that to 6 percent plus inflation. The measure is pending Inthe Senate.
