Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 06/05/2014 04:51 PM
Sacramento, Ca – Senator Ted Gaines (R-Roseville) today announced that he and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) have introduced Senate Bill 1309, a bi-partisan bill that would entice Tesla Motors Inc. to build a large-scale battery factory in California. “Tesla is about to build a $5 billion factory and create 6,500 jobs somewhere in this country. We can and should do everything humanly possible to bring those jobs to California,” said Senator Gaines. Senate Bill 1309 declares the legislature’s intent to utilize financial incentives, changes to regulatory and environmental processes, and other possible tools to expedite construction in California. “Everything is on the table – tax credits, investment credits, hiring credits. We need to show Tesla that we’ll cut through the red tape that frustrates companies in this state and prove that California is open for business,” said Senator Gaines. “There’s no excuse. I call on my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join Senator Steinberg and me in getting this done immediately.”...
