The Speaker's refusal to put the Colombia Free trade agreement up for a vote is costing the state's businesses real money. 20% of California's manufacturing workers depend on export related jobs. The state actually ranks second to Texas in terms of exports of merchandise to Colombia and fourth in terms of total exports. Currently all of those exports are burdened with tariffs, which would be eliminated with the FTA. The state is also the second largest exporter of agricultural products to Colombia. Thanks for your support of California's workforce Madam Speaker.
