Wind tax credit may be due for 'burr haircut,' Senate leader says

When Gov. Mary Fallin signed a bill last May to end a property tax exemption for new wind power developers, she said the industry still would benefit from a big tax credit.

It still would have millions of dollars in benefits from the zero-emission tax credit, tied to pollution-free energy.

Now that may be on the chopping block, too, as the state struggles to fill a $1.3 billion budget hole.

A measure passed by the Senate Finance Committee would place a moratorium on nearly two dozen tax credits, including the zero-emission credit.
