Verzion Jobs Coming To Tulsa

[Conan71]

500 high paying jobs are announced and all you guys can do is grumble at each other about it?

This is really good news for Tulsa.  Thanks for mucking this up and making Tulsa Now look like it's populated by complete idiots and ingrates.

True.  Might as well just send 'em packing.

Times up Verizon.  We don't approve.  Tulsa Now Forum has spoken.

Just curious, what is "high paying" jobs salary? Are these $10.00/hr call center jobs, or are they mid-level/management scale positions?

No wasting beer allowed.

You earned it:


With that said, anything from Verizon refuting her statement? Do you have any evidence that Verizon would have showed up if a dem leg/gov were in charge?

I give the credit to President Barack Obama, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett, Owasso City Manager Rodney Ray, and Chamber Head Mike Neal.

They all either spoke at the announcement or were quoted in the paper. Verizon didn't say they didn't so that makes it so.

Have you read the article? It clearly states that...good place for "news" rather than intereweb forum facts"...


So anyone else think this is good other than Conan and I?

I'm a pro business Chamber of Commerce Republican.

But I have a history with sauerkraut that goes way back to other forums other than Tulsa Now.

He is the most ignorant, stupid, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck parroting idiot I have ever encountered.   

So anything he has to say I would discount as something a blethering idiot would be saying.   

I am sure that some people like Chelsea Levo and Mike Neal and his staff had some heavy influence in the decision making process that Verizon made.    The politicians such as Rodney Ray , Governor Fallin and Tulsa Mayor Bartlett get the glory with the photo oops.   

I do know something about the process for making something like this happen.   Not the photo oops that idiots like sauerkraut look at.

Oh, fyi, Chelsea Levo is the economic development manager for Owasso, and most of you know Mike Neal is the Tulsa Chamber President.   They are the people that make announcements like this happen.

That's going to leave a mark...

But yes, typically from my understanding (which admittedly is limited) is that the smaller players do the largest part of the work to get these companies here and they don't get the recognition simply because they are lower on the state or city totem pole, so they don't get to make the soundbite.  Sad really, but most of these people also don't hold a grudge about it.

After all, as Conan said, 500 jobs for the Tulsa area is always a good thing, especially with AA's shaky status.

This is super news for Tulsa, the 500 new jobs will also make spin-off jobs. Anyone who really wants to work can find a job in Oklahoma... On the flip side,  If anyone heard in Michigan Chrysler/Jeep is closing up shop and moving to China.. Looks like Michigan is losing more jobs to China and elsewhere. Oklahoma is making jobs while other states are bleeding away jobs.... Oklahoma has some of the nations lowest unemployment rates, along with the Dakotas, and  Nebraska. The natural resource industry in Oklahoma is booming  with our oil and natural gas...Mary Fallin is pushing for more natural gas development. Things are really looking up for Oklahoma & Tulsa!

Do you ever read news from anywhere other than Drudge, Fox or the like.

Chrysler is NOT moving to China.  That's OLD news.  Wow.  You NEVER cease to amaze me.

The state of Oklahoma and the city of Tulsa have some the lowest unemployment rates in the nation.. That is what a pro-growth governor and a  pro- business governor can do..

But other states also have some low unemployment rates. Hawaii has the same rate currently as Oklahoma has, and their Governor Neil Abercrombie is the polar opposite of Mary Fallin. He is a strong supporter of mandatory national healthcare, as a congressman sponsored bills on making it easier to register to vote, and has one of the highest liberal ratings from the ACLU.

Your love for Mary Fallin has gone sour on us, sauerkraut. She gets some credit for good things, but not all of it. Decisions like Verizon made include many factors and many players. It is a team game.

Field goal kickers really don't win games. They only play a few plays per game. You must think they snap the ball to themselves, block the other team, hold the ball on the ground, and kick it through the uprights all by themselves. They have a job to do and doing it poorly can cause their team to lose, but a win happens because of a team all doing their job.

Verizon adding 500 good paying accounting and finance jobs is a win. Way to go team!

Chrysler is NOT moving to China.  That's OLD news.  Wow.  You NEVER cease to amaze me.

In an interview with NPR broadcast this morning, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne defended the decision to move production of cars for foreign markets to those locales.

Why do the righties here want us to show our support for this announcement. Of course it's great news. But really, who gets the credit? Worldcom.

There's a difference between adding jobs in China and eliminating jobs in the US and moving them to China.

Also, just to be clear, I am happy about this announcement, but I still would like to know what, if anything, we're paying them to get these jobs.
