Tampa's Citi operation heralded as a top job creator

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn had the crowd laughing after he joked that he did not have a medal for Gregg Morton, site president of Citi’s Brandon campus, but he could have Morton’s water turned off. This came after Gov. Rick Scott, right, put a jobs ambassador medal on Morton for his efforts with Citi to bring jobs to the area. The event was held at Citi’s Brandon Campus on Monday morning.
