Like the 1,000s of other pages of evidence uncovered and descriptions of crimes on this site, this web page is only one part of a massive multi-state entanglement of government corruption and cover-up. See size

Law specifically prohibits allowing tax credits for certain investments, including but not limited to "businesses engaged in banking, or lending or investing funds in other businesses."
What is really happening?
REI New Markets Investment claimed
Receiving an $850,000 investment from Komar Properties of Oklahoma
and
Investing $850,000 in Charles Komar & Sons, Inc
REI and Komar Properties got $1.7 million and possibly half again as much more. All we know at this point for sure is Cottonwood Valley Ventures would get 20%. However, Cottonwood Valley Ventures will get 20% of the more than $1 billion in investments claimed for the 3 year period 2006, 2007 and 2008. All to be invested in similar suspect deals. $800 million came in that questionable amendment Cottonwood claimed more than one year after the program supposedly ended.
Mesa Oklahoma Growth Fund, I, LP reported receiving tax credit investments from each of the following each year.
McClendon Venture Company, LLCThe above three McClendon, TLW and Tercet; also filed claims, but the report does not show any of these disclosed investing in Mesa? That would not qualify, unless there was another very unusual situation pulled off. Also held in secrecy too.
That is just some small stuff overlooked in the cover-up!
Income is not required to use these tax credits. OTC will issue tax refund checks, if needed.
Remember this was all uncovered from a program wrapped in secrecy, and there is more, much more coming soon! Isn't it about time we demanded sunlight? Or, just go along with cutting the budget more?
Our governor and lawmakers are so busy amputating limbs and removing vital organs, they don't have time to stop the bleeding of a major vein?
