This month the city of Henryetta received $231,243.01 in sales tax revenue from the state.
That was a gain of $17,619.90 above last April and just slightly below the $236,055 in April 2016. City officials are saying it is because more people are spending their money at home.
It also marked the 17th consecutive month with an increase in sales tax returns.
