Just consider the source as follows:

The more independent their posting ID the less they are most likely.

If Texas can nab Sriracha and provide local jobs then more power to them. If California loses them then so be it. I, for one, would not wish to live downwind of them anymore than I would want to live downwind of a dairy farm or rendering plant. But if they were already established I'd no more buy in those places than I would in the flight path of an airport and if I did, I certainly wouldn't complain about it. Caveat emptor! But that doesn't seem to be the California way.
You know Irwindale, right? City leaders are always one step ahead of an indictment for some shenanigans or other.

Irwindale went out of its way to lure Tran away from Rosemead, even built him a nice big plant. Now they want to kick him out, because they're shocked, SHOCKED I say, to discover the sauce stinks?

There's something fishy here. And it ain't the Sririachi!

I do know Irwindale; all of 1,400 people, give or take a few. It's beginning to seem a bit like Bell over this. But nothing in small town politics, or large town either, would surprise me and especially not in the Greater LA area where political dynasties reign supreme.

Tran agrees with you. It's not so much that Irwindale "built the nice big plant", but they did offer him a special interest only loan (for 10 years) with a balloon payment at the end. Tran saw the handwriting on the wall and borrowed the money to pay off the Irwindale loan. He was afraid they would use that loan to shut him down - at a cost to him of 10 Million dollars during the harvest season.

The Tran plant has been cleared by both the EPA and the California Clean Air folks - something stinks, and it's not just peppers.

Please put that on billboards all over California. And all over Collin County, Texas (northern suburbs of Dallas)...now colonized by white-collar Californian refugees. They keep coming like a plague of locusts. I wish they'd leave. And take their In N Outs with them.

We can work together on this.
