 Business gets its way in Republican Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma is used to being overshadowed politically by its bigger, bolder southern neighbor, Texas. But in the past year, it’s Oklahoma that has developed a reputation for unusual political boldness, with the GOP flexing its muscle in dramatic fashion. The 2010 elections gave Republicans complete control of state government for the first time ever in Oklahoma. They have quietly, methodically enacted a slate of pro-business measures and are embarking on an extraordinary plan to eliminate the personal income tax outright. Stateline

 New Nuclear Construction Will Help Secure U.S. Energy Technology Leadership
Building and Construction Trades Department chief Mark Ayers and Energy Secretary Steven Chu share a sense of optimism rising out of Georgia's red clay. Ayers, who leads the AFL-CIO's building trades unions, understands the value of 4,000 to 5,000 construction jobs that will be created by the Vogtle nuclear energy project -- the largest construction project ever in Georgia. The two reactors, awarded federal construction permits last week, represent "a strong and unmistakable signal that nuclear energy will now assume an important role in a low-carbon energy future."

In December, the National Labor Relations Board dropped its lawsuit against Boeing and the Chicago-based company’s nearly $1 billion investment in a 787 Dreamliner plant in North Charleston, S.C. The lawsuit was dropped after the aircraft giant agreed to produce its 737 Max jetliner with union labor in Washington state where the company employs tens of thousands or workers.

That was most of the 1990s and a short period from 2004 to 2006. Those were the days. Those were the days when the South dominated this nation's economy (it still does, but let's act for now that it doesn't).
