Mayor's office move can't win for losing

Anybody remember how much it cost Williams to build OTC?  I want to say it was around $200 million.  So the city gets it for a fraction of the cost, and people are complaining that it's too nice?

I personally want visitors and executives who are considering doing business with Tulsa to be impressed.  The mayor's office should be nice. The executive offices are already there.  Let's use them, and call it what it is: a bargain.

I heard it was closer to $350 million and I worked for Williams at the time it was built.  I was a part of the relocation team that moved Communications into the One Tech Center.  

Currently, I work for the IT Dept. for the City of Tulsa and we moved from the Hartford Building @ 1st & Greenwood to the OTC, 6th Floor about a month ago.   I love this building, but many City employees are complaining about the lack of privacy.  Most of them had their own offices and are now stuck in 8'x6' cubicles.  The entire City staff at Center Office Building (7th & Houston) started their first day in OTC this Monday.  IT's been intersting to say the least, but I think everyone will adapt quickly.

Save it. Chris Medlock was a much more unpopular politician in this town, and the recall vote wasn't close.

Last I checked, Kathy Taylor had an approval rate of close to 60 percent.

A recall effort would be just p*ssing in the wind.
