In cased you haven’t heard, public relations executive Steve Turnbo of Tulsa has taken the reins of the statewide chamber of commerce.

We’ve written about Turnbo’s PR firm before: Turnbo’s firm, which has mishandled the poultry litigation to the delight of W.A.D. Edmondson, botched the ill-fated river improvements campaign and masterminded Oral Roberts University’s pathetic attempt to fool the public during the financial scandal, is moving on to head the chamber of commerce!

Insiders tell OKPNS that while Schnake Turnbo’s ability to produce typical PR campaigns is excellent, their public affairs acumen is simply awful. “They simply stink at public affairs, but they are good at fooling companies into hiring them,” says one observer.

So now the firm’s head is taking the lead at the state chamber, which is regarded by many capitol observers as an out-of-touch and fairly ineffective lobbying organization. You may recall Sen. “Dirty Harry” Coates’ unflattering comments regarding the chamber of commerce’s lobbyists.

Either way, watching the leader of one of the state’s most ineffective public affairs firms directing one of the state’s most ineffective lobbying groups should lead to a lot of fun.
