We here in Ohio love our Ford plants. We've got 'em all over the place - in Cleveland in Toledo in Cincinnati... wait. Scratch those last two as the Way Forward plan counts among its victims a stamping plant in Maumee near Toledo and a transmission plant in Batavia near Cinci. Ohio Governor Bob Taft and his Lt. Gov. however have just offered Ford Motor Company a package worth $15.7 million in incentives to keep the Maumee plant open however. Ford has graciously said it will review the offer but Anne Marie Gattari a Ford spokewoman has already told the Detroit News that a turnaround plan unfortunately requires the idling of some plants "and we don't expect that to change." Sorry Maumee not even the great-grandson of William Howard Taft himself can save your stamping plant now.
