GT Company Looks to Mexico FOR?

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his first official act after today's election, will travel to Mexico on Wednesday to begin a two-day trade mission that includes events to promote California business and meetings with President Vicente Fox and President-elect Felipe Calderon.

The California-Mexico partnership is important to both sides of the border, and our trade mission is one big step to making that relationship even stronger.

Sixty-three invited business and political leaders -- some of whom are donating unspecified amounts of cash -- will be part of the delegation as the governor pushes California agriculture, high tech and movies.

Mr. John Allen, President, Wilden Pump, Grand Terrace is one of the Businesses going to Mexico City.

Wilden Pump was formerly a locally owned business with close ties to the community. However, it has been absorbed into a larger corporation and has increased its international business and manufacturing facilities.

Is this trip to Mexico a Marketing of Product or a look for a new location for assembly and distribution of the products and jobs from Grand Terrace.

Could it be that City Interest in that area for a more "Productive Revenue Source" is providing an encouragement to look at alternative business locations? Perhaps it is prudent for Wilden to look for a location they can "OWN" without the risk of being the victim of Eminent Domain Take Over of their Property.

These are questions their employees should be asking, and the city council should be asking, and the citizens of GT should be asking.
