Canoo

[Dob Hooligan]

Was just noticing this company that looks like they are bringing back the Scout International, but in an EV Truck and SUV. Scout Motors

I have a feeling these will do better that Canoo!

I believe you are correct. In the Live they did yesterday the CEO welcomes two people from the VW Group.

Just by reading about Canoo, it does not seem to have a bright future in OKC. I do not understand why Gov Stitt gave them all the incentives when he knew that this company was not very fiscally sound. Our governor seems to make stupid decisions and is going to hurt this State in the long run.

All the incentives are based on job-creation and we won't owe them anything unless they meet certain thresholds.

You only post the wins for Texas. They have promised tons to companies that haven't done anything in Texas. These happen in all 50 states. We just focus on the state more.

Like Pete said, these aren't guaranteed incentives. OK does a lot with jobs-based. Texas doesn't. They guarantee a lot. Hence why jobs #s in Texas, compared to what companies promise when they move there, are significantly lacking.

I would love to post the wins for Oklahoma, however it has been crickets for way to long, lol. You have to be able to see that Oklahoma has not had a major corporate relocation in forever!

You're right. But what can Oklahoma do in the short term? There isn't much they can do. Even being the most liberal state in America wouldn't help, because Abbott is even worse than Stitt. They just have too much money to guarantee to companies down there, regardless of jobs created.
