A husband-and-wife pair of politicians are asking California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to find ways to lure development of the CEV to the state. State Senator George Runner and his wife, Assemblywoman Sharon Runner, both represent the Antelope Valley region of southern California in the California Legislature. They believe the governor should create a “high-level team” to figure out how to get NASA and its contractors to base CEV development in California, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. The Runners have the ideal location in mind: Plant 42 (conveniently located in the Antelope Valley), the Palmdale facility where the shuttles were built. Schwarzenegger’s office would only say that the “letter had been received and was being reviewed.”
