Independent Green Party Candidate for State Representative of the 60th District Dennis Spisak again vowed to help boost the valley's economy by bringing alternative energy companies and factories to the 60th District.

"All over America government leaders are learning that clean energy is no longer a luxury, but a necessity." said Spisak.

Spisak cited the Mayor of Los Angeles who announced a plan this week to unveil a green energy initiative that will create as many as 400 union jobs over the next three years to install and maintain solar panels on city buildings and other structures around Los Angeles.

On another job front, the Los Angeles mayor announced progress towards a goal of providing 100,000 residents with living wages jobs.

"Their job proposal could easily work here in the Mahoning Valley", said Spisak."The concept is to work with school systems, community colleges, and universities to provide alternative energy job training and placement. Something that is definitely lacking here in the 60th district."

Spisak added "To get such a program in place here in the valley, we need a state representative who will go to Columbus to expand our portfolio of alternative energies.We need a state representative to work with state leaders and help issue rebates to companies that will employ solar panels and a state representative that will strike partnerships with public and private entities to use the technology."

"Right now we have a state representative in Bob Hagan who has no plan to bring such ideas and jobs to the valley. That's why we need a change in Columbus beginning in 2009", concluded Spisak.
