In Search of the Big Box
For fiscal survival, municipalities are forced to pursue retail sales over jobs or rooftops
New jobs generate income tax
New rooftops, after construction, generate only ad valorem tax
![Page 10: HEALTHY CITIES HEALTHY OKLAHOMA We’re all in this together](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56814371550346895daff061/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The “Wal-Mart” Effect
Sales Tax Revenue Per Person Per PennyMakes comparisons possible regardless of
size of city or rate of tax
The average PPPP in a Wal-Mart City is $139
The average in a non Wal-Mart is $72
![Page 11: HEALTHY CITIES HEALTHY OKLAHOMA We’re all in this together](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56814371550346895daff061/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Do retail sales generate NEW revenue?
When Glenpool adds a Wal-Mart, where do the shoppers come from? Drains revenue from one locality to
benefit another, or Shifts revenue from one retailer to
another within the same locality
Pursuit of retail sales has limited benefit for the state
.

Problems with relying solely on Sales Tax
Sales tax is a volatile source of revenue
Consumer switch to Internet sales Loss to Oklahoma municipalities
projected to be $106 mil. annually by 2010
State and counties crowd out the ability for cities to increase sales tax
