When Ford located a new Falcon plant in Ohio, Williams put on his straightest face and complained that the company was depriving Michiganders of jobs. This year the Republicans' most effective campaign document is a list of 40 key companies-from ACF Industries to Philco-that have left Michigan. In the past decade, the number of manufacturing jobs in Michigan dropped from...
