Judicial Watch: VA Gov.’s Former Electric Car Company Will Cost Taxpayers Millions – By Gage Cohen / July 13 2017
The state auditor of Mississippi is demanding that Virginia Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe’s former company, GreenTech, repay nearly $6.4 million in public money since the electric vehicle company shut down and failed to deliver on its promises to create new jobs.
The government watchdog group Judicial Watch reports that most mainstream media outlets are ignoring this newsworthy story.
McAuliffe was a co-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 bid for the presidency and served as the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) prior to being elected governor of Virginia in 2014.
According to Richmond Times-Dispatch, the governor, who was the founder of GreenTech, brokered a deal with the state of Mississippi whereby his company would receive taxpayer dollars in exchange for “investing $60 million and producing 350 jobs at its Mississippi facility.”
In 2009, after losing Virginia’s gubernatorial race, McAuliffe purchased a Chinese company, moved it to Mississippi, and founded it as GreenTech, “burnishing his credentials as an entrepreneurial businessman ahead of his successful 2013 run for governor,” according to the Times-Dispatch.
