The Fix Is In! Rep. Barney Frank Delays Local GM Plant Closure
?I greatly appreciate General Motors? willingness to take into consideration the wider needs of the company and especially the community,? Frank said in a statement. ?Keeping the facility open for this extra time gives workers a chance to look at other opportunities, while at the same time continuing to provide for their families.?
Need we (and the Hill) point out that Barney is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee? You know, the pols that oversee the government?s bailout program, under which GM has received $50 billion? No, I didn?t think so. [Thanks to lw for the link.]
