[QUOTE="Fencer, post: 274901, member: 1781"] Dayum, I got a fast reply: Kevin, I know we discussed this before but considering the amount of opposition we have heard from some many people to this, is there another state statute we can look at and work from? Just trying to find out who has already this law on the books so we can show it to others and them know that this is not some foreign concept. Thanks for forwarding the information to me. So I responded: Rep Ward, Unfortunately, the answer in short is no. The practice IS legal in California (has been for decades), but there is no specific law that allows it. I sent the link for the proposed law in Washington State with the last letter. I believe there is a proposed law in Texas as well. The practice is legal in Europe, Japan, Australia, and other foreign nations. I know California is a foreign concept to most of use here in the south. But, as Alabama is trying to attract more foreign nations to build here, Mercedes, Kia, Honda, and the ThyssenKrupp steel plant to name a few, why not show them a little forward thinking in the attraction process. What is the opposition you have heard? Do the studies I have referenced support or refute the opposition? Alabama does not always have to be a follower, why not be a leader and let others come behind us? Do you always want to be chasing Atlanta? Thank you for such a fast reply, [/QUOTE]
