Bureaucracy [RE-wre [RE-wrenches]

[Graham Owen]

Joel,

A few months ago I spent about 45 minutes riding in a car with David 
Freeman, Chairman of the California Power Authority, as well as Pat 
Redgate and Matt Lafferty.  When I initiated discussion regarding the 
negative impact of prevailing wages on the PV industry Mr. Freeman’s 
response was something like this: You live in a labor State, which also 
subsidizes your industry, so quit wining and feel glad that the unions 
are interested in PV because they will take it to the next level.  Mr. 
Freeman did mention that there should be an exception made for 
prevailing wage requirements for “mom and pop” sized companies, such as 
mine.  I need an exception whether it is structured on the cost/or size 
of each PV installation or based on annual gross sales.

Graham
