A BILLION-DOLLAR JOLT FOR THE
GREAT STATE OF MICHIGAN!
JOBS: 40,000 possible, with 6,800 in next 18 months

Michigan was established Wednesday as the epicenter of an Obama administration push to build systems that will power the cleaner autos of the future, with the state winning most of a $2.4-billion federal grant program.

The $1.36 billion heading to Michigan is to create up to 6,800 jobs in the next 18 months and up to 40,000 through 2020 .... Announced by President Barack Obama in Indiana and Vice President Joe Biden in Detroit, they are designed to establish a U.S. manufacturing base for electric vehicle batteries and motors.

Helluva job, Governor Granholm!
