Tulsa officials push to keep Citgo HQ in city
Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry and Tulsa Mayor Bill LaFortune say Tulsa’s low business costs will persuade Citgo Petroleum Corp to stay, despite reports the Venezuela owned firm may move headquarters to Houston. They plan meetings with Citgo officials and CEO Luis Marin as Houston negotiates. Economic losses and layoffs at major employers compound Tulsa’s concerns.
