Taylor on generating jobs
question:
How would you generate more jobs?answer:
It is difficult to generate more jobs in California. We are the #l worst state in the country to do business in, the cost of labor is one of the highest, the rules and regulations are the most onerous. In the Valley, you have to add the air quality restrictions and fees that are discouraging new business. Our best bet has always been to build on what we have. Agriculture and ag related business and expansion of the Lemoore Naval Air Station are key job creators. We have very good people running our Economic Development organization in Kings that have been successful, despite the handicaps, in bringing new jobs We intend to keep them at it.
