Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt was among 11 Republican governors who urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to drop a $4,500 electric vehicle tax credit from the social agenda and infrastructure bill.
In particular, Stitt and the other governors targeted the incentive for customers who buy ‘union-made’ electric vehicles.
“We cannot support any proposal that creates a discriminatory environment in our states by punishing autoworkers and car companies because the workers in their plants chose not to unionize,” the governors said in a letter to Pelosi and other Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress.
It was signed by the governors of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas reported the Detroit Free Press.
