Governor Granholm's Statement on Delphi's Announcement

March 31, 2006

LANSING – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today issued the following statement regarding Delphi’s announcement:

“We stand with the Delphi workers, their families, and the communities deeply affected by Delphi’s announcement, and we will do all we can in Michigan to help them cope with this devastating news.  But no state, including Michigan, can protect our domestic auto industry from the effects of unfair trade agreements and tremendous health care burden that only American manufacturers bear.  We need a federal government that works with us to make sure our companies can compete fairly.  Instead, we have an Administration in Washington that is in ‘Delphi denial’ about the problems facing American manufacturers and American workers.”
