TAKING JOBS ELSEWHERE? BOEING SPEAKS

Testifying before the House Labor Committee on January 16, 2002, Boeing CEO Alan Mulally repeatedly told legislators that Washington is not competitive in the following six areas: Transportation, taxes, energy, education, unemployment insurance, and regulations/permitting. Mulally's concerns extended far beyond the state's transportation problems. In no uncertain terms, Mulally informed the committee they are free to resolve the state's business climate or maintain the status quo, but he reminded them that Boeing is also free to leave the state if improvements are not made.
