Governor Fallin today issued this statement on the passing of Phil Tomlinson, who served as Oklahoma secretary of transportation from 2003 until 2009:
“My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Phil Tomlinson, who served the state of Oklahoma with great distinction. He served six years as secretary of transportation under former Governor Brad Henry, and also served as director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, where he was instrumental in modernizing agency contracts for real estate and travel stops. In addition, he served as a coordinator of rural economic development programs for former Governors Dewey Bartlett and David Hall. He also will be remembered for his work in commercial real estate projects.”
