New Page Layoffs

From Fox Politics and Mark Rahmlow

What you don't read from the MSM about the New Page mill layoffs in Kimberly.

"Many of the jobs lost in Northeast Wisconsin are simply moving next door to U.S. Rep. Dave Obey’s (D-Wausau) district. Obey even announced in January of this year that NewPage had received a $30 million grant from the Bush Administration. If Kagen is worried about paper mills in Northeast Wisconsin, perhaps he should start by picking up the phone to ask the Appropriations Chairman to stop stealing jobs from his district.
" FoxPolitics.net - Appleton, WI News - What's really going on in the Fox Cities


Where is the press on this?

It just shows what congressman from Wisconsin (Obey) is doing some work for their constituents and one that has no clue (Kagen).

What a joke in the 8th district.

John Gard should take this and run with it.

Dave Obey 7th district, 30 million bucks / Steve Kagen 8th district ZERO

Richard, thanks for the info. The people of Kimberly and Niagara are proud hard working people. They will make it through this. Maybe even better off then with the mill. It's all up to them.
