Here, the city’s heart beats in the footsteps of oilmen and artists, in the dreams of newcomers and the wisdom of old-timers, in the mingling of Choctaw, Vietnamese, Black, Latino, and Okie roots. Oklahoma City is a patchwork — of rodeo and rode bikes, of Friday night lights and Sunday morning gospel, of food trucks and fine dining, of a community that welcomes you with a nod and a plate.

Forget tax cuts. Fix what's wrong to spur growth, Williams CEO says | Opinion

Oklahoma's legislative leaders are getting good advice these days. The question is: will they listen and do anything different? Will we see a change in the dynamics of the debate in next year’s legislative session because we'll have a new governor after the November election and possibly at least a small dilution in the overwhelming Republican majority in the state House and Senate? Some suggestions are coming from Chad Zamarin, the CEO of the Williams Company in Tulsa, who paid a visit to The Oklahoman this week. Williams is now the largest energy firm still maintaining its headquarters in Oklahoma. In the 1920s, Tulsa was the undisputed “Oil Capital of the World,” home to hundreds of companies big and small. But in recent years Houston has taken over as the commercial and financial hub of the global petrochemical industry. Phillips Petroleum Company in the early 2000s moved its headquarters to Houston when it merged with Conoco, and more recently Devon and Expand have followed suit. Zamarin was in Oklahoma City for a conversation with state legislators about what his company – and likely many others – are looking for. He told them it's not tax breaks. It's not multi-million-dollar incentives.
