FOREIGN CARS BANNED FROM CITY HALL GARAGE
Flint, Mich. --- If you own a foreign-made car, your wheels aren't welcome
any more in the City Hall garage.
Mayor Woodrow Stanley issued an order Friday say only American-made
cars will be allowed.
His idea was to make sure city workers remember where much of the
tax money comes from that pays their salaries --- General Motors Corp.
"He believes we should buy from the people who feed us," said James
Makokha, the city's governmental policy director.
GM, the Flint area's largest employer, has about 50,000 salaried
and hourly workers in the area. The automaker has also cut about 30,000
jobs there over the past decade.
The garage, which has about 40 spots, is used by department heads,
middle managers, secretaries and City Council members. The ban begins
Monday.
