Mark's Morning Dispatch

Submitted by Zack on October 15, 2008 - 10:54am.

Here's your Wednesday morning update from the campaign trail:

  • Grand Rapids Press: President Bush brings fund-raising clout to Ada gathering. "President Bush is in town to raise money for Republican Congressional candidates. Two GOP incumbents are in tight races, and Republicans could lose their 9-6 advantage in the Michigan delegation."
  • WKZO: We got the Power. "Auburn Hills-based United Solar Ovonic plans to build a new 220-million dollar manufacturing plant in the Fort Custer Industrial Park, a project that's slated to add 350 jobs over the next three years. State Senator Mark Schauer says the company had been considering a site in New York, but they had the ready-made construction site already serviced by utilities and the workforce."
  • Battle Creek Enquirer: Solar-roofing company plans B.C. plant. "Let's just say I consider this a great victory for all of Calhoun County," said Jim Hettinger, president and chief executive officer of local economic development firm Battle Creek Unlimited. "Considering how many people have been displaced by plant closings, this is great news for our area's workforce."
  • Battle Creek Enquirer Editorial: United Solar's decision requires support. "State and local officials deserve much credit for working with United Solar to convince the company to locate in Fort Custer. It is now dependent upon area officials and agencies to work cooperatively and ensure that United Solar's plans move forward smoothly."
  • WOOD: United Solar Ovonic expands to Battle Creek. "You want your community's economy to be diversified. But you want it tied to jobs that are going to be in high demand," said Dehn.
  • The Hill: ‘Just win, baby’ is the advice in Mich. races. “Tim Walberg is so entrenched in economic policies that have devastated Michigan,” Schauer said. “People are tired of the direction Republicans in Washington have taken this country. They associate Tim Walberg, rightly so, with those policies.”
  • Blogging for Michigan: Schauer Creating Green Jobs, Walberg Named to the LCV "Dirty Dozen". "Today, the League of Conservation Voters added Tim to the 'Dirty Dozen', citing two 'dismal' years in Congress."
