The state is suing for back sales taxes from Priceline.com, Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity.com and other online travel reservation companies that offer discount hotel rooms.
The lawsuit — filed Tuesday in Oklahoma County District Court — is the latest against the online travel industry. A year ago, Florida became the first state to sue the online travel companies. San Antonio and other Texas cities last year won $20 million in their 2006 lawsuit against Expedia and other companies.
