Oklahoma Stop Overspending (2006)
From Ballotpedia
The Oklahoma Stop Overspending initiative, had it qualified for the November 2006 ballot and been approved by the voters, would have added a Taxpayer Bill of Rights amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution.
Opposition from Oklahoma Education Association
In a 2008 editorial criticizing the Oklahoma Education Association for sponsoring the Oklahoma HOPE Ballot Initiative, the Oklahoman says, "In opposing a 2005 effort to get a Taxpayer Bill of Rights to a statewide ballot, the union encouraged its members to report that petition circulators were bothering or harassing them in an attempt to disrupt the signature-gathering process. Talk about harassment. We'd bet the OEA expects to be able to gather signatures without detractors making false claims against well-meaning petition circulators."[1]
