    Preston L. Doerflinger. "So far, that confidence has not been shaken by the fiscal mess in Washington." Combined personal and corporate income taxes were down 4.1 percent from last year in November, but officials believe that was due to timing issues. Income tax collections for the month totaled $152.2 million, down 4.1 percent from $158.8 million a year earlier. Motor vehicle tax collections increased 2.2 percent for the month to $16.6 million from $16.2 million for November 2011. Tax collections for the first five months of the fiscal year totaled $2.12 billion, down 1.4 percent from $2.15 billion for the first five months of the previous fiscal year. "With the exception of energy taxes, key revenue figures are growing," Doerflinger said. "Both sales and income taxes are up more than 8 percent for the first five months of the current fiscal year, compared to the same time period a year ago, and revenue from motor vehicle sales has increased by more than 6 percent. Also, total collections for the five-month period are running $33 million above the estimate." - Staff report

Health indicators improving for the state included infant mortality rate, upto-date immunization coverage for children 19 months to 35 months, a low incidence of infectious disease cases, an improvement in the percentage of people without health insurance and an improvement in the percentage of children under age 18 living in poverty, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. On the downside, a high prevalence of smoking, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, diabetes, limited availability of primary care physicians, and a high rate of cardiovascular disease deaths continue to be health challenges for the state. "This year's report marks a significant and dramatic improvement that we don't take lightly," said Terry Cline, state health commissioner. "We recognize and support opportunities occurring within communities, businesses, organizations, faith-based groups and others in the private sector that help make the healthy choice the easy choice and ultimately improve the health status of all Oklahomans." The United Health Foundation said new data methodology implemented for the 2012 report has caused it to retroactively calculate Oklahoma's 2011 score, changing it from 48th to 46th. "While the late change in last year's score for Oklahoma is a bit confusing, it is important to note that public health issues are complex and multifaceted and difficult to reduce to a simple overall ranking," Cline said. "We view each year's report as a status assessment of efforts in place that empower Oklahomans to make healthy choices."
