I thought such things were over with as long as GM=Government Motors.
GM wants to sell the plant to Chicago based JD Norman.
JD Norman is the only potential buyer in this deal. The company has plants in the U.S. and Mexico
The only options for the plant are to have the sale go through, or for GM to close the plant in 2011.
If union workers at GM's Indianapolis stamping plant don't negotiate by the end of business Wednesday, the sale of the plant could be in jeopardy, resulting in its closure.

Shown below is the article from today’s Rockford Register Star regarding phone solicitation by parties representing themselves as the Illinois Sheriff’s Association(ISA).
The very interesting thing is-- just how charitable is the Illinois Sheriff’s Association? Back in 2009 I report on a letter requesting my donation to the ISA signed by Boone County Sheriff, Duane Wirth. See: http://boonecountywatchdog.blogspot.com/2009/02/illinois-sheriff-association-and.html
At that time I reported that the Illinois Charitable Forms for ISA indicates that 52% of the revenue is given as charity 48% is management and fundraising expenses. The more recent such forms (12 months of 2007) is shown below. (also available at: http://www.ilsheriff.org/IL%20Charitable%20Organ.%20Annual%20Report.pdf) Now those numbers have improved to 59.5% of the revenue is given as charity and 40.5% is management and fundraising expenses. 100% of the fundraising is raised by paid professional fundraisers.
Oh yes—our household has received numerous phone calls from individuals representing themselves as the ISA.
