John Garamendi: “So for somebody that goes into their home and puts in energy efficient windows or a solar system or solar hot water…”

On the recordApril 13, 2010

It is very interesting that, again, during the recess, the number of new businesses that come about as a direct result of that tax credit, advertising all over the radio about this company or that company going to be putting in new windows or a solar system, so businesses are actually coming about because of the tax credit that's available to homeowners.
