HiViz Shooting Systems Announces Relocation Plans
HiViz Shooting Systems Announces Relocation Plans
Nice!!!! Now time for Mossberg, Colt, Ruger, Charter arms, Stag, CVA, Etc... walk out on CT.
Jobs - We need to help Coloradans get jobs and help the economy recover. This includes local energy conservation and renewable energy jobs. I am sponsoring a bill to set up a voluntary program to provide small businesses access to money to pay for these clean energy improvements. The bill expands the "Climate Smart" type program used in Boulder County into a statewide program. These types of programs are called "Property-Assessed Clean Energy" (PACE). SB 212 helps create local construction jobs that can't be outsourced, reduces a business's energy costs and reduces pollution.
The "Keep Jobs in Colorado" bill will be introduced soon. This will help put Coloradans back to work by ensuring that we are prioritizing Colorado tax dollars by hiring Coloradans for public work project and restricting outsourcing jobs overseas. This bill also mandates the disclosure of where steel and other materials that are being used for state projects were made.
I just sent Ruger a letter asking what they will do. Seems only Rugers corporate HQ is in CT and the rest of the operations are in NH and AZ so it shouldn't be that hard to relocate.
Sturm Ruger is incorporated in CT., which is the only reason they retain a small office there. To change would be expensive in terms of legal fees, and what the state gets in revenue from that small operation is peanuts compared to what they lost in jobs and money when the company moved out their manufacturing plants.
It would seem that the loss of jobs and tax revenue doesn't concern the legislators currently in power. If those that live in the various "blue states" don't like it they can express they're feelings in the next round of elections.
Otherwise they are best viewed in a rear-view mirror.
Ehem... Burris Optics... are you watching? Wanna lend a hand? Maybe put some pressure on the state, eh?
no they wont get it, they truly do not care. Some are actively saying Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
