Would Oklahoma suck twice as much, or only half?

Carpenter v. Murphy isn’t one of the more high-profile Supreme Court cases in recent years, but it may lead to one of the most consequential decisions this term. The dispute, for which the court heard oral arguments on Tuesday, is relatively straightforward: Does the Muscogee Creek Nation’s reservation in Oklahoma still legally exist? If the answer is yes, then the result is far but simple: Half of the state could fall under tribal jurisdiction—with significant ramifications for taxes, regulations, and criminal investigations.

Does Oklahoma have taxing authority over reservation lands?  If not, it seems that this case could be catastrophic for the state's finances.

doesn't oklahoma have 4-day school weeks because of the catastrophe that the state's "finances" are already in?

Interesting that a state that picked land thieves as the mascot for their state university might be ruined by another criminal because the federal government didn’t take the tribal land back legally.
