Default Re: Project Boomerang aims to bring former Oklahomans back to state

I think this project sounds great. I would like to move back to the OKC area however, living in the Dallas Fort Worth area, I have more choices where I want to work since Dallas is home to some 30 Fortune 500 companies alone. I think Oklahoma has made some progress in diversifing the economy. I think what will bring back former Oklahomans are better quality jobs meaning attracting more Fortune 500 companies as their headquarters. Devon and Chesapeake are great corporate citizens but what will happen when oil and gas prices plummet? Also, the state needs to stop taxing food, groceries, get rid of your archaic liquor laws (such an embarrasment). I think the average Oklahoman will agree but what keeps Oklahoma from truly progressing and prosper is your inept legislators. They do not care about the "will of the people", they only care about their own agendas. How sad but true
