Flight Commission from front page
El Segundo-based Slingshot Aerospace is
another new name in local aerospace. Started
in 2016, this young company formats data
from satellites and aerial vehicles so flight
systems teams can manage missions and
overcome any problems along the way. The
company says that by improving the data its
customers receive, they reduce risk and costs
for a competitive advantage.
Protecting up-and-coming companies from
enticing offers to move their production or
design teams elsewhere has led the Legislature
to act. Most recently, Sacramento lawmakers
approved a tax measure in 2016 favorable
to defense and aerospace manufacturers.
Lawmakers extended a sales and use tax
exemption on manufacturing equipment.
Aerospace is prized by state and local
lawmakers because average salaries top
$100,000 and contractors and their suppliers
create manufacturing jobs -- some of which
require a high school diploma. The demand
for workers with technical skills is expected
to grow too in the Los Angeles metro area,
according to a recent LAEDC report about
the future of work in the region.
The commissioners would not earn a salary
and the panel would be funded by the flight
companies, though the entity could accept outof
state money or federal funds, the blueprint
says. However, all donations must be reported
and the dollar amounts are capped to prevent
a handful of companies from influencing the
deliberations and direction of the commission.
Legislators almost never challenge Brown’s
vetoes, however, Muratsuchi can reintroduce his
bill next year after the voters elect a new governor
in November. Republican Bill Cox is running
against Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who is
finishing his second term as lieutenant governor. •
