Sriracha plant leaving California? (Video)

State Sen. Carlos Uresti was among a group of Texas lawmakers on Monday visiting the Sriracha plant in Southern California.

The lawmakers are trying to convince the organization to maneuver its plant from California to Texas — possibly to the San Antonio-area.

In an argument, State Representative Jason Villalba, who led the delegation, said, “I am confident this group can communicate to Mr. Tran and the colleagues at Huy Fong Foods the benefit of working in the Lone Star State where frivolous litigation is not businesses as usual and we use companies to create jobs and chance of all.”

UPI.com said that the Texas lawmakers’ visit was the most recent move of Texas Governor Rick Perry’s campaign to encourage more companies from California to maneuver their businesses to the Lone Star state, dangling incentives and lighter regulations along the way. Perry’s biggest victory so far was Toyota’s recent decision to relocate its headquarters in California to Plano. The internet news site said Tran’s hot sauce business is worth $80 million.

On the other hand, California Governor Jerry Brown may have wanted to think outside the box if he really wants to keep your Srirachi sauce factory within the state. Huy Fung’s issues with the locals won’t be appeased with any financial incentives.

Tran has earlier expressed his intends to stay within California, but did say he was eyeing to add another site outside of the sunny state, UPI.com said. The official vote that will give Huy Fong 90 days to resolve the smell issue would reportedly take place on Wednesday.
