Newly-elected local officials in Michigan are taking steps to hinder the construction of a battery plant owned by a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked company in their community, according to The Detroit News.
Officials in Green Charter Township, Michigan, have rescinded an approval for a water line that Gotion Inc. — a subsidiary of China-based Gotion High-Tech — needs for its planned electric vehicle (EV) battery components plant near Big Rapids in north central Michigan, according to The Detroit News. Gotion Inc. has sued the township in federal court over the withdrawn approval for the water line, potentially foreshadowing more friction between the company and key town officials, most of whom were voted into office late in 2023 to replace predecessors who backed Gotion Inc.’s plans to set up shop in their community.
“As township supervisor, my number one concern is protecting the interests of the people of Green Charter Township, and we will vigorously defend our township’s position in the matter,” Green Township Supervisor Jason Kruse, who was one of the officials voted into office in November 2023, said, according to The Detroit News. “We might be a small community, but we refuse to be bullied.”
Democrats are so stupid. That’s why we’re in this predicament now in the country.
