Some more information from the Joplin, Missouri area:
The Neosho Chrysler dealership (Chrysler, Dodge, Dodge truck, and Jeep) owned by Mark Hendren is shutting down while the Chrysler dealership in Joplin (Frank Fletcher) 12 miles away will remain open.
Since the 2004 Election cycle, Hendren has given $2,000 to Jim Talent (R), $500 to Roy Blunt (R), and $500 to John McCain. Fletcher gave $8,000 to Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D), $1,000 to Gov. Mike Huckabee, and $1,000 to two GOP candidates in Arkansas.
Fletcher will also benefit from 2 other dealerships closing in the Little Rock area. It looks like he will be the only Chrysler dealership left in the Little Rock metro area.
I have completed gathering information on the Chrysler dealers through Page 30. I will finish the other 10 pages tonight.
BTW a heart KUDOS to you for completing 75% of that report!!! That is some stellar, heads-down FReep-work you've done!!!
Have you added the numbers yet? Could I help with that maybe i.e. have you published them?
