California halts sales tax breaks for solar makers after Solyndra
California officials consider suspending 33 sales tax exemptions worth 104 million dollars granted to renewable energy firms, including Solyndra, amid a federal Solyndra bankruptcy and bipartisan scrutiny. Treasurer Bill Lockyer urged delaying the program at the October 25 meeting, arguing taxpayer money should not back failing ventures. Federal actions and investigations surrounding Solyndra are noted, with calls for prudent public spending and a halt to government picks of commercial winners.
