Using this to go to North Carolina, I no longer think education matters. They are barely, and I mean BARELY higher than Oklahoma.

Using the above, Oklahoma is above many other states that have been getting these uber-manufacturing projects. I think that it has a ton to do with tax incentives just not being structured well-enough. Most states getting these projects couldn't care less about social issues (Oklahoma has legal weed, where as Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina don't). Not like they are more progressive on any more issues than Oklahoma is.
Point being, I think Oklahoma just needs to look at how they structure their taxes, and somehow change their perception. Because aside from secondary education, they are very, very competitive with most states getting thee large projects. And even more so when it comes to higher education spending.
