    The Oklahoma governor addressed the State of the State on February 8 hitting on some familiar conservative themes including one that has been a long term priority for the Democrats – removing the 4.5% state tax on groceries. Additional sales taxes in dome.local jurisdictions increase the tax rate to 10% in some areas.
