More evidence that the Trump tax plan is already working:

Before reading the following excerpt,  understand that these business decisions were made during the GOP campaign for the presidency.   Trumps promise for business tax reductions no doubt made the Tesla/Panasonic commitment all the more serviceable.  New York has been on a tax-reduction campaign for several years,  now,  promising a 10 year reprieve on its repressive tax requirements in the hopes of attracting companies such as Panasonic and Tesla.  With Trump's pledge to reduce federal taxation collections, when New York reintroduces its tax burden at the end of the ten year period,  the larger benefit of a federal tax reduction will be in place and everyone wins  ~  editor.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Japanese electronics company Panasonic and U.S. electric car maker Tesla said Tuesday they plan to begin production of solar cells at a factory in Buffalo, New York.
The two companies said they finalized an agreement calling for Tokyo-based Panasonic to pay capital costs for the manufacturing. Palo Alto, California-based Tesla made a "long-term purchase commitment" to Panasonic.
Production is due to begin in mid-2017. Tesla said it will create 1,400 jobs in Buffalo, 500 in manufacturing and plans further expansion in Buffalo.
Panasonic also is to work with Tesla on next-generation technology, the companies said.
New York state has committed $750 million to build and outfit the plant at Buffalo's RiverBend site, the centerpiece of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's "Buffalo Billion" program to revitalize the upstate region's largest city.
SolarCity has committed to investing $5 billion over 10 years in New York state, hiring almost 1,500 workers at the Buffalo plant for five years and employing at least 2,000 more people across New York in exchange for use of the state-owned plant.
In October, when word emerged about the possible manufacturing collaboration, the head of New York state's economic development agency said SolarCity will be held to job creation promises made when the state committed funding to build and outfit the plant, which is expected to begin production next summer.
