Politicians blast General Motors for closing Lordstown plant

LORDSTOWN, Ohio - The General Motors plant in Lordstown will stop production in March of 2019, sources confirmed. RELATED: Community devastated after announcement that General Motors Lordstown plant to stop production In 2016, the autoworkers of Lordstown were among those who played a role in electing President Donald Trump. You better get back in there soon. That’s Ohio, and you better get back in there soon,'" Trump said during a press conference on Monday. "I spoke to the president about Lordstown back in June. "This country has been good to GM with the rescue of the auto industry, less then a decade ago they've been immensely profitable, President Trump just gave them a huge tax cut. Even worse, the company reaped a massive tax break from last year’s GOP tax bill and failed to invest that money in American jobs, choosing to build its Blazer in Mexico,” said Brown. “GM owes the community answers on how the rest of the supply chain will be impacted and what consequences its disastrous decision will have on the Mahoning Valley and our state. He issued a statement Monday morning that reads, in part: "I am deeply frustrated with General Motors’ decision to shut down its Lordstown plant and disappointed with how the hardworking employees there have been treated throughout this process. Accountability will be a key question for those workers and voters impacted by Monday's decision come 2020.
