They’re going to have the FBI call them domestic terrorists.
I can’t find if they killed the Gotion deal or not, so maybe we’ll find out later.
After two resignations, Green Charter’s remaining five Republican officials were recalled and promptly kicked out of their offices in a Tuesday special election.Red China-loving RINO Unipartiers figured they could push through this Democrat-approved (and approved by them too) project with impunity.
The rural community of 3,219 pushed out its governing board after its members ignored residents’ concerns and approved plans for Chinese battery company Gotion High-tech Co. to build a multibillion-dollar electric vehicle battery manufacturing plant in their area. […]
Plans for the $2.36 billion project were announced last year and received support from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other Michigan Democrats who touted the 2,300 jobs the plant would create.
Green Charter residents opposed the project, Kruse said, and voiced concerns about building the facility on agricultural land and about the company’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). …
I’m pretty close to the failed (paused anyway) Ford/Chicom battery plant. Going back a couple years the folks in that township were sold out right under their feet. Nondisclosure agreements (NDA) were made by all kinds of ‘authorities’ in the area without letting the local population be part of the process. The authorities (term used loosely) did not cooperate, meanwhile the residents of the area went to work.
Mind you this area is a bucolic, somewhat rural area that doesn’t need a stinkin’ battery plant - the local residents were not included on a lot of environment stuff, many pure rivers and streams, endless water tables, forests and the like. Most people know of the pollution created by these factories so that got the ball rolling many months ago.
Just so happens (roll eyes) Ford was taking a bath on the EVs’ anyway and a fair chance they were going to ‘postpone’ (close) the project anyway. It was to be located in Calhoun County (next to Hillsdale Co.) as these counties on the bottom of MI and the top of Ohio are rather red, obviously the chicoms did not take that into consideration. No doubt there will be a couple books coming out but one gets the idea, it should also be noted that this disgusting project was only undertaken because the governor of MI, the commie WHitler backed it.
I think this shows that in terms of effective political action, it can only happen at the local, county and maybe State level.
The incentives for politicians are all wrong. IF someone goes from the State Legislature or County Executive to, say, Member of Congress, it would count as a promotion.
But a backbench member of congress, or even the leadership, in either the minority or majority, couldn’t necessarily stop this project.
But the local people did.
“Green Charter Township”
Was this place chosen for it’s name? How “cool” is that? /s
