But what can you expect from Fox? Would have been nice if aservant had actually read the article and seen there was a link to the whole list on another website and saved us all the trouble. While it would be nice to have cheap gas, I wouldn't trade where I live for any of those top ten states.

OKC unemployment is around 5%, so you can work if you want to. You can buy a fine house of 2,000 sq. ft for less than $159,000, and we all have NG piped into out homes which is dirt cheap. AND, we don't have to shovel snow. Seems like heaven to me! [Edited by: LetemEatCake at 12/9/2012 12:00:13 AM EST]
