1. The state of Oklahoma is pushing back against a Muscogee Nation citizen's legal fight to be considered exempt from state income tax under the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark McGirt v. Oklahoma decision. Alicia Stroble’s request was initially rejected by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. A state administrative law judge overturned the denial, only to be overturned again by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The Oklahoma Supreme Court then ruled against Stroble's appeal , prompting her to request the U.S. Supreme Court review the ruling . The state says the McGirt ruling should be revisited if the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to review Stroble's case.
