Asmall town in a rural region of Michigan has just voted to recall five members of its governing board who repeatedly ignored local opposition to building a plant for a Chinese company.
Green Charter Township is a small town of about 3,200 people located in central Michigan, less than an hour north of Grand Rapids. This week, residents of Green Charter voted overwhelmingly for a change in leadership after its township board continually supported building a plant for Gotion Inc.
Gotion makes batteries for electric vehicles. While Gotion is headquartered in Silicon Valley, it also has a parent company in China.
In December 2020, all seven members of the Green Charter Township Board agreed to a $2 billion deal with Gotion, largely because of the prospect of thousands of new jobs. But area residents immediately opposed the plant, expressing concerns about negative effects on the environment and potential communist infiltration.
What do they care? They got their money. Reminds me of politicians in the 21801.
Now that’s patriots taking care of business !!!!
