As he prepares to leave office and assume the presidency of Trinity Christian College, Holland, Michigan Mayor Kurt Dykstra is reflecting on some of the highlights during his 5 year tenure. They include a memorable interview with Lesley Stahl and a 60 Minutes crew. It was November of 2013 and 60 Minutes was investigating tax incentives for electric vehicle battery manufacturers. LG Chem and Johnson Controls-Saft both received hundreds of millions in federal grants and incentives to build battery plants in Holland. So far the plants have not produced nearly the number of batteries or created close to the number of jobs promised.
