San Diego Government Jobs Affected by No-Travel Rule

A number of San Diego government jobs could be affected by a new no-travel rule throughout the state.

As part of an effort to save taxpayer money, Gov. Jerry Brown recently issued an order for all state employees to stop any unnecessary travel. This comes on the heels of another order requiring all state agencies to recover millions of dollars in uncollected salary and travel advances.

The new order states that no employees can travel in or out of state for work unless the travel is mission-critical or free-of-cost to the state. Any in-state travel must be approved by an agency secretary or department director and any out-of-state travel must be approved by the governor's office.

Employees will be able to travel for anything directly relating to enforcement responsibilities, audits, or revenue collection. However, travel to conferences, networking events, professional development or continuing education courses, or meetings that can be conducted virtually will not be allowed.

"Our fiscal challenges demand that we take a much closer look at how taxpayer dollars are being spent within state government," Brown said. "Now is not the time to attend conferences, travel to meetings or take out-of-state field trips and this Executive Order puts an end to it."

In addition, agencies submitting an out-of-state travel request to the governor's office must explain:

Houston Manufacturing Jobs Created by 3M Expansion

One popular company's decision to expand into a nearby city will create new Houston manufacturing jobs.

The Texas Enterprise Fund recently announced that will invest $194,000 in 3M Company, which will be used to open a new manufacturing facility in nearby Angleton. That expansion is expected to create 55 jobs and generate about $21.2 million.

The new manufacturing facility will be used to produce powder coatings that help protect metal surfaces from corrosion. The company plans to relocate some of its existing manufacturing operations from New Ulm, Minn. to the Angleton plant.

"Texas continues to stand out as the best state in the nation to grow business and create jobs thanks to our low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory climate, fair legal system and skilled workforce," Gov. Rick Perry said. "3M is a global Fortune 500 company with operations around the world, and I'm pleased they've chosen to relocate this facility to Texas, creating jobs and generating millions in capital investment in the Angleton community."

3M, which produces everything from air filters to tape, has built a strong presence in Texas since 1965. The company currently operates other facilities in Austin, Brownwood, Dallas, Houston, and El Paso. The state's skilled workforce, quality of life, and low cost of living are all important factors to the company.

The Texas Enterprise Fund works to recruit and grow businesses throughout the state. Since it was founded in 2003, the TEF has invested more than $433 million and closed deals on projects generating 58,535 new jobs and more than $14.7 billion in capital investment.
