Gov. Whitmer Touted 12,000 EV, Battery Jobs. Billions Later, Only 200 Were 
Created

To which cowardly cunt implied when he whined, "But Truuuummmp. But 
Wisconsinnn. But Scott Walllkerrrrr."

See? Cowardly Canadian liberal cunt trolls are too chicken shit to simply start 
their own threads. 

This proves he's just a troll. He never posts anything... just snipes at people 
like a child.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's multibillion-dollar effort to lure 
electric vehicle (EV)-related factories to the state has not produced the 
thousands of jobs she promised, according to an analysis conducted by Bridge 
Michigan.

Whitmer and the state government have already spent $1 billion of the $2 
billion pledged to five different projects to build EV battery factories or 
expand EV production, but only about 200 jobs have been created, a far cry from 
the 12,000 jobs Whitmer has stated the companies will ultimately provide for 
Michiganders, according to Bridge Michigan, a Michigan-focused nonprofit 
publication of the Center for Michigan.

Two years after the subsidies were extended in 2022, only 2% of the jobs 
promised have been delivered while the state-backed projects have downsized 
relative to original plans or faced delays.

The companies that are to receive the $2 billion in pledged funds include Ford, 
LG Energy Solution, Our Next Energy, and General Motors.

Also included is Gotion, the subsidiary of a China-based company that has 
significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party, which the Daily Caller News 
Foundation has covered extensively.

Each of the projects is now off schedule, and scale reductions have cut the 
best-case scenario for job creation by 13%, according to Bridge Michigan.

However, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), which has played 
a key role in providing the subsidies, is still confident that its efforts will 
provide considerable benefits to Michiganders.

"While there has been some re-scoping, we are still talking about billions of 
dollars being injected into the state and thousands of jobs being created," 
Otie McKinley, a spokesperson for MEDC, told Bridge Michigan.

General Motors has so far received about $468 million of the state's total 
pledged boost of $600 million to build an EV battery factory and expand EV 
production at a separate Michigan plant, according to Bridge Michigan.

Whitmer and other proponents touted projections that the developments would 
cumulatively create 4,000 jobs, but so far there have only been 120 jobs 
created between the two projects.

Both General Motors projects were supposed to be completed and open this year, 
but construction remains ongoing at both sites, according to Bridge Michigan.

LG Energy Solution's planned facility in Michigan is the only of the five 
examined by Bridge Michigan that has yet to receive a large, up-front check 
from the state to facilitate its efforts.

Our Next Energy received $78.3 million from the state to build a massive EV 
battery factory and bring $1.6 billion of investment into Michigan, with the 
company initially saying that the factory would generate more than 2,100 new 
jobs, according to Michigan Bridge.

However, the company has about 50 workers staffing its Wayne County project and 
has terminated 25% of its employees.

Michigan has also spent $70 million to purchase land for the Ford and Gotion 
projects, but officials did not "explicitly disclose" those payments, according 
to Michigan Bridge.

Further, the state has already extended loans worth $51 million and spent an 
additional $600 million on utility hookups and other equipment for the same two 
developments, Michigan Bridge discovered through public records requests.
