[NR] New Oklahoma Tax Law and Merchants

[Lee McGoodwin]

Okay.... this brings up another thought....just musing
here...
I thought Church and State were suppose to be seperate
and that is why religious org., ie, Churches, were tax
exempt?   Yet, I see that any State run event is
exempt, even if the merchants at the event are not
owned or operated by the State...hmmmmm, that gives
one pause.....
