Letter to RGJ re: Tesla search



With TX & AZ both saying they won't allow Tesla to sell cars without a dealership.... They are probably out of the running; (I also heard they were thinking about Utah). NV biggest "defect" is its lack of a trained technical workforce. EVERY economic summit since I've been here has pointed that out, and, while the legislature has thrown money at it... The "Community College system here is set up for the academics.... The "dirty fingernail bunch" (as called by the academics) is looked down upon as second class citizens (and thats being kind). A "Technical College system" is needed here in NV (or a Private Technical "for-profit"). The academics will never consider the trades as anything but grunt work, not worthy of their attention. Until a Tech System is set-up NV will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to bringing in new manufacturing, and the tax base that comes with it.
