Tell me!!!!! Who owned the Solyndra land?
Jerry Brown? Hope hope hope!
I was wondering the same thing. I don’t have time to do research today but I did find this:
Over half went to Rudolph and Sletten a wholly owned subsidiary of Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE:TPC), Tutor Perini Corporation (formerly Perini Corporation) is controlled by California-based investor group led by Los Angeles-based construction executive Ron Tutor and investor Richard Blum, both major Democrat supporters, but more importantly Richard Blum is the husband of United States Senator from California Dianne Feinstein.
The real estate brokerage firm involved in Solyndras deals is CB Richard Ellis (CBRE). Again CBREs owner and chairman is none other than the San Francisco-based financier Richard Blum.
The 500,000 square foot building Solyndra leased was described as an albatross in San Jose Business Journal article at the time.
Why did Solyndra buy the land for its manufacturing facility? Tech startups dont buy land. Yes, but the seller was McMorgan & Co., a firm closely tied to the Democratic Party, and at one point linked to Willie Brown.
