Call it whatever, but I just don't view 1,000 employees as a skeleton crew. Houston won the energy battle a long time ago, but Shell is still important to the area.

They're attributing their decision to the financial incentives and that gives me pause. I'm reminded of Boeing in Lake Charles where the state put up almost $50 million for 1600 jobs and the company pulled out four years later leaving them holding the bag.
