wants the city to grow, but not at
any price.
Rosenthal, a political science
professor and director of the Carl
Albert Congressional Research &
Studies Center, said she recognized
the need to attract belter paying jobs
Io Norman, but the approach of the
past city council would not achieve
that goal.
“It'snot about offering incentives
and competing for Dell because we ll
lose that game," Rosenthal said. “We
can’t compete with Oklahoma City
on money... We don't have the finan-
cial wherewithal to play that zero-
sum game."
Rosenthal said the most profit
able economic strategy would be for
Norman to maintain a strong rela-
tionship with OF She also empha-
sized the importance of being a wel-
coming community.
“We need to be a welcoming com-
munity Io all comers who represent
the kind of entrepreneurship and cre-
ative capital that starts new jobs and
[...] brings artistic talent Io our com-
munity." Rosenthal said
“And (those types ofpeople] ate not
