Here is more from the Dispatch:
The White House appeared yesterday to rule out using federal stimulus money to help Georgia officials build a manufacturing plant for NCR Corp., which is moving its headquarters from Dayton to Georgia.
The effort by officials of Columbus, Ga., to seek money from the $787 billion economic-stimulus package provoked anger and outrage among Ohio politicians, who said federal tax dollars should not help NCR move to another state.....
In a statement, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, D-Columbus, said: "It is outrageous that a state could use this money to steal jobs from Ohio. I will work with our delegation, both Republicans and Democrats, to put an end to the unscrupulous practice of these individuals and make sure job creation continues, not job shifting. It does nothing to help workers in Ohio or Georgia if we are just changing locations instead of doing the real work of investing in future jobs."
Here is my advice for the mayor of Duluth--- You wanted those jobs. Now figure out how to pay for it, without stimulus money.
*** Many in the "Party of NO!" (aka the Republicans), continue their assault on working families. On a roll call vote for HR 626 (Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act) on June 4, 2009, 149 Republicans voted NO, including the following Republicans from Ohio: Steve Austria, John Boehner, Jim Jordan, Bob Latta, Jean Schmidt, and Pat Tiberi.
