Oklahoma: state’s debt large but pension reforms will help
A new and intensely detailed review of the financial “state of the states” places Oklahoma in the lower-middle tier of U.S. states as of fiscal 2010.

In the latest analysis, Oklahoma was 32nd among the 50 states, with a burden of $12,600 in debt per taxpayer.
