Harley-Davidson will 'continue to be involved' with Trump administration










In the shooting, a member of the Vagos MC was hit and suffered a non-life threatening injury. Police say that victim identified the shooter as a Bandidos motorcycle club member.
Police say no one with the Bandidos MC is in custody at this time, but a different member of the Vagos MC has been arrested for shooting from a car.
Bandidos MC members are being questioned by officers as the investigation continues.
Vasquez says some members of these groups are being cooperative, while others are not.
For example, the member of the Bandidos who owns the home where the shooting happened would not allow police to take photos of the residence for evidence.
Police said the residence could possibly be a Bandidos clubhouse.
When the injured Vagos MC member was taken to the hospital late Saturday, police said people started showing up to the Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center lobby. That prompted a brief lock down as a precautionary measure for the safety of patients and hospital staff.
In 2013 News 13 “On Special Assignment” reported mounting tensions between the Vagos and Bandidos. At the time, the Vagos were new to town and wanted to run the show.
That was followed by a fatal shooting in Albuquerque with the Vagos at the center of it. Then a warning from the FBI to local law enforcement of a possible gang war but the last few years have been relatively quiet.
Police say since the shooting occurred, these groups have the “full attention” of police as to make sure no other problems occur, especially at upcoming large events in the city like farmers markets.

Harley-Davidson Inc. CEO Matt Levatich said the company will “continue to be involved” with President Donald Trump’s White House, according to a release from the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank.
Levatich, according to the release, said “(Harley-Davidson) is always "pleased to have the opportunity to share" how government policies "affect our business." In discussing the recent White House meeting, he said he was impressed by how members of the Trump administration "leaned in, listened respectfully and cared what Harley-Davidson had to say. . . And you can't ask for anything more than that.””



National Center for Public Policy Research's Free Enterprise Project (FEP) participated in the motorcycle manufacturer's annual meeting, it said.
David Almasi, National Center vice president, and a Harley shareholder who represented FEP at the meeting, said the meeting between Trump and Harley executives should be considered among the high points of President Trump’s first 100 days, “because it showed corporate America willing to work with our President to fix our economy, create jobs and bring wealth back to our communities.”
Almasi said a policy priority Levatich and Harley executives brought to the president in February “was the need to ease the corporate tax rate.”
“When Trump's tax overhaul plan was unveiled this week, Harley's suggestion was a key component. Starbucks and Uber — companies that appear unwilling to work with Trump — may benefit from this policy change, but it is Harley's courage that helped drive the effort to bring necessary relief to struggling American businesses," he said.



Almasi also encouraged Harley to continue to engage with the administration.
“Executives nationwide are under intense pressure from liberals to shun the Trump Administration,” he said. “Uber's CEO caved to political pressure when he resigned from the President's economic advisory council, and executives at Disney, Pepsi and other companies are under fire to do the same. To their credit, Harley-Davidson executives are not flinching."
Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG) has had several interactions with Donald Trump and his administration during his first 100 days as president.
Levatich and Harley-Davidson executives visited the president at the White House on Feb. 2, less than two weeks after Trump's inauguration.
That meeting followed a cancellation of a visit from Trump to a Harley facility in the Milwaukee area.
In his first joint address to Congress, Trump talked about Harley-Davidson, which caused confusion over tax rates the company pays in certain international markets.
Recently, Harley unveiled a new 10-year strategy that involves adding 2 million new riders, growing its international business, and creating 100 new motorcycle models.
Plans for the nearer future also include global expansion, with "150 to 200 (new) dealerships internationally by 2020," said Levatich.
