I just heard on KRMG radio that Verzion is bringing 500 more jobs to Tulsa, and it seems Mary Fallin played a big part in getting the jobs to Tulsa, they are not low paying jobs but good solid jobs at good pay. Mary Fallin is doing a great job on bringing jobs to Oklahoma and new jobs here in Tulsa! This is very good news for all of us!! :)

If you mean she made her way to Tulsa to take part in the announcement, then yes, she did tons.
On another note, it is great to see such a positive in Tulsa.
Without Mary Fallin those jobs would of gone elsewhere.

Governor Fallin, Verizon Officials Announce Company Bringing 500 New Jobs to Tulsa Facility
OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin joined with officials from Verizon in Tulsa today to announce that the company is adding up to 500 new jobs at its North Lakewood facility in Tulsa. The jobs will be finance and accounting positions. The company currently employs more than 900 at the Tulsa facility.
"Today's announcement is great news for Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma. These positions represent the kind of high-quality, good paying jobs we are working to bring to the state," Fallin said. "We appreciate Verizon's investment in Oklahoma and are excited about the 500 new jobs coming to Tulsa. Today's announcement is another great example that our pro-growth, pro-business policies are working and are making Oklahoma an even better place to do business."
Verizon serves local, long distance, wireless and data customers in Oklahoma and has 50 retail stores and authorized agents throughout the state. The company has nearly 1,200 employees statewide and has an annual payroll of approximately $85.3 million in Oklahoma.
Verizon officials said the decision to create a financial services hub by adding up to 500 new positions in Tulsa comes after an extensive review of numerous locations across the nation. Many factors were considered as part of the company's search, including the quality and availability of financial services talent, quality of life considerations, the cost of living and more. At the end of the evaluation process, Tulsa emerged as an ideal location.
"Verizon has a long-standing relationship with the city of Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma. With a significant presence in Tulsa, we know from first-hand experience that Oklahoma has a business-friendly environment that encourages investment,'' said Michelle Robinson, Verizon vice president of state government affairs. "Selecting Tulsa as a new financial services hub for Verizon allows us to take advantage of the financial services talent throughout Oklahoma. We look forward to extending our commitment to the Tulsa metropolitan area and the great of state of Oklahoma for future growth."

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? If not, you have nothing to stand on.

I looked all over for the "Thanks to Oklahoma's Governor, Mary Fallin, without whom we'd've set up shop elsewhere..."
Didn't find it.

Crazy, the articles I can find don't say anything about the Governor, the Mayor, or the Chamber talking Verizon into this development. They just mention that it's an add-on to Verizon's facility already in existence.
I'm guessing this happened in spite of the Governor and Mayor and most likely Tulsa owes it's thanks to the President. (Rolling eyes emoticon wafting with a cupped hand placed here.)

Who knows, their audit, finance & accounting facility is in Irvine, CA. Perhaps the 12.84% state and city tax they pay there is unattractive.

No, I think Townsend may be right. I think perhaps President Obama gets at least partial credit for this. States like Oklahoma, Texas and others offer an excellent opportunity for companies facing higher taxes, and healthcare expenses to shift some of that liability. They probably don't have to pay nearly as high salaries here as they do in many of their other facilities and the taxes are lower.

After just looking at the bill my mother got for one night's stay at St John's over NYE, amen.
It's been a while since a governor of either party paid much attention to Tulsa.
My guess is Mary Fallin worked with Verizion officials behind the scenes to get them to expand in Oklahoma. The state has alot of offer, low taxes and a business friendly enviroment. I doubt if Brad Henry was the governor Verizion would of came here, they would of gone to Texas or Missouri..... Heck if anything Henry would of chased them out of the state.....Anyhow, That means in Tulsa we'll have 500 more people working paying taxes to the state, the state gets more income from the expanding job market and it's done without raising taxes. That is exactly what I mean when I say a growing economy makes jobs and produces income for the state... Tulsa Thanks You Mary Fallin! :)

Mary Fallin is working to improve the whole state of Oklahoma and when Oklahoma gets better so does Tulsa. 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.. Since Mary Fallin came to power Oklahoma's unemployment rates have been tumbling every month. The more companies the Governor can draw to Oklahoma the better our economy will be and that means more jobs and that means more people paying taxes to the state. It's a cycle of growth!

Please stop jumping the gun!
Well I think it also had to do with Verizon owns this property, they have a ton of open space, Oklahoma has low cost of living and there there are some great schools in Tulsa. Owasso is going to be the one to benifit from this as well as downtown with the college grads moving in. These are not "call center" jobs by any means. I will talk to a few friends who work out there to see if they heard anything else. Its a pretty cool campus if you've never been there.

Campuss...Cherokee better be nice, we foot the bill two times for that Chamber development debacle.
So how much are we paying for these jobs? I find it hard to believe Verizon wouldn't be looking for a handout...

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.

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!

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!

Are jobs going to China? Yes.
Could these have been jobs here in America? Yes.
Are there less jobs in America as a result? Yes.
Will there be fewer Americans employed as a result of this decision? Yes.
There. Now, what's the import of the distinction you were trying to draw?
Chrysler building an overseas plant is the same reason we can thank Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, BMW, etc. for building manufacturing plants here in the states.
