Jay Inslee is heading to England and Finland next month on a “trade mission.” Of course, Inslee will not be without an entourage of supporters. Inslee will be accompanied by “a group of business, economic development and government leaders, including Department of Commerce Director Brian Bonlender.”
What brings Inslee to England and Finland?
According to the Seattle Times, Inslee is scheduled to attend the Farnborough International Air Show in England where he will have the opportunity to “showcase the tremendous products, services and investment opportunities Washington businesses provide on a global scale.” The governor’s office says that Inslee’s objective is to “meet with aerospace executives to encourage them to expand or locate new facilities in Washington.”
While in Finland, Inslee will meet with government leaders, visit Nokia headquarters (Microsoft recently acquired the company for $7.2 billion), and “tour Neste Oil’s renewable diesel refinery and meet with companies interested in investing in Washington.”
Sounds like quite the plan. However, we can’t help wonder if Inslee’s international efforts will be all for not once these businesses learn about his gas increase and coal by wire plans. After all, Inslee certainly doesn’t have the best track record with keeping business in-state. Remember when Microsoft announced, due to Democrats’ incompetence, it will develop a $1.1 billion data center in Iowa instead of Washington State?
NO! Its just a nice vacation paid for by us tax payers. Waste of money.
you really can believe this pompous ass is going to do any thing remotely good for this state do you you all swallowed the Obama line hook line and sinker did you.well we see you choking on it soon enough .
Given it’s an airshow & we’re Boeing…it’s logical, drama queens.
Well, that makes perfect sense, go on a trade mission and visit a company that has already been acquired by a Washington State company. Then the fool will come back and with that short bus lisp and tell everyone, “look what I have done”. The residents of King County are truly a special kind of stupid for electing this incompetent donkey. Honestly, not trying to offend donkeys!
