2012 Senate Bill 939: Give special treatment to firms submitting to “environmental leader” process (Senate Roll Call 332)
facebook  twitter 

Passed 26 to 12 in the Senate on May 15, 2012, to give certain businesses special treatment in awarding state contracts, eligibility for government subsidies, environmental permit and inspection mandates, and more, if the firm submits itself to a government “environmental leader” designation process. This would require a company to demonstrate that it has no outstanding permit violations or serious past ones, adopt certain practices not required by law, submit to certain additional reporting mandates, participate in “workshops,” etc.

This is the state picking winners and losers again.  "Environmental Leader" could mean Solyndra type companies.  What's so green about going belly-up?  "Environmental Leader" means this:  The state tells the business to jump through hoops, while  skimming alittle money off the top and then the business gets to go on with its business... all in the name of saving the state from pollution.  Well, this type of crony-capitalism is the biggest polluter in America today... destroying wealth and jobs at record pace.  This goes for bills SB 940, SB 941 & SB 942 as well.
