STATEMENT BY SENATOR KOHL ON CHRYSLER PLANT CLOSING

5/1/09

“It seems incomprehensible to me at a time when jobs are disappearing in our auto industry that Chrysler would continue to close down domestic manufacturing plants. We are facing challenging times and continuing to eliminate jobs in Wisconsin will severely hurt the local economy. The skilled employees of Chrysler are prime examples of the hardworking people that are the backbone of our workforce and I will continue to fight for their jobs.”
