By Calvin Rees · March 25, 2013
Labor Commissioner Mark Costello is announcing tomorrow that the Oklahoma Department of Labor will close their Tulsa Office and require the employees either to transfer to Oklahoma City or retire.
The reason for this is said be mismanagement of Funds and budget concerns. The Commissioner is blaming this on reduction of Federal funds but it was rumored last year that a fatal mistake of half million dollars in the budget while giving Administrators large raises. Now the Tulsa employees have to pay for it.
