Company says state could realize
millions in taxes from equipment
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A consulting company and some
county assessors may have uncovered unreported or underre-
ported oil and gas equipment that could bring $10 million to
$100 million in annual tax revenue to Oklahoma.
Visual Lease Services, based in Holdenville, was hired by
several county assessors to help locate and assign market val-
ues to oil-field equipment in their counties.
The company said it discovered a 60 million cubic feet per
day gas plant. 214 miles of pipeline and compression units
owned by Duke Energy Field Services in Stephens County. The
equipment wasn't on the tax rolls and has a value of about
$10.4 million.
"People just shake their heads when I tell them how much
money is involved," Gary Mask. one of the owners of Visual
Lease Services, told The Sunday Oklahoman.
Mask estimates between $1 billion and $10 billion in unre-
ported or underreported oil and gas equipment is in Oklahoma,
and taxes on that equipment could bring $10 million to $100
million a year.
But Mark Andrews, president of K.E. Andrews & Co.,
believes Mask's estimates are exaggerated.
"Have they found property that should have been on the tax
rolls'? Absolutely. There's no question about that." Andrews
said. "But that's not where the thrust of this is coming."

Stipe could lose pension funds if found
to have violatedfederal laws
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Former Sen. Gene Stipe could lose a
sizable portion of his state pension if he is found to have vio-
lated federal laws or his oath of office while helping Walt
Roberts’ 1998 campaign for Congress.
A state law, passed in 1981, says public employees could
lose benefits if they are convicted or plead guilty to a felony or
any other offense that violates their oaths of office.
The 76-year-old McAlester Democrat resigned last week
after 52 years in the Oklahoma Legislature at the center of fed-
eral investigation.
Three of Stipe's close associates have pleaded guilty or been
charged with violating federal campaign laws.
Prosecutors say at least $239,000 in illegal contributions
flowed into Roberts' congressional campaign. Stipe, considered
to be the wealthiest member of the state Senate, has not been
named in court documents and has yet to be charged.
Whether a particular offense is subject to this forfeiture
depends upon the facts and circumstances of each individual
case, said Lydia Lee, general counsel of the Oklahoma Public
Employees Retirement System.
OPERS has deemed a number of different crimes to be vio-
lations of the oath of office, from bribery to embezzlement to
filing false claims, Lee said.
Stipe has served 52 years in the Legislature and his most
recent salary was at least $38,400.
