Hi Robert – Per your mention of Sen. Corker, I just wanted to clarify that GM ASKED for a meeting with Sen. Corker and other Tennessee officials this week to discuss Spring Hill. They also asked our state to submit a proposal for the new sub-compact plant they plan to put in Michigan, Wisconsin or Tennessee. Thanks, Laura LeflerPress SecretaryU.S. Senator Bob Corker

as a resident of this state im going to enjoy watching him kiss some uaw ass. during the hearings he was mighty quick to slam the big 3 makers, drag out costly flights, and generally conduct hisself in a manner that management and and labor should always be adversarial. you folks will soon learn what kind of first rate bully and ass this guy can be. i have been watching him push chattanooga and this county at large straight into bankruptcy for a while now with absolutely no accountability. and FYI... this guy has spent the fourth highest amount of taxpayers money in the senate on personal jet flights. "ya'll, best watch his ass"
Auto jobs are highly desirable. Wherever a car company locates work, they are going to ask for concessions or aid. GM will ask for it, Honda got tax breaks and state assistance (although a much more modest amount, Honda is a good company to deal with).
