This morning’s News Journal article starts off with this:
Stunned Delaware officials struggled Wednesday to make sense of Fisker Automotive’s announcement that the startup hybrid carmaker may not build its next model here after all, with some former auto workers counting on Fisker’s jobs reacting with disgust.
I’m a bit concerned that any state official could have been “stunned” that Fisker was waffling. I’m troubled that Alan Levin, the director of the Delaware Economic Development Office, was “shocked”. The article goes on to interview more politicos who talk about phone calls they are making. But more importantly, TNJ talks to some of the would-be workers who are affected.
So as Fisker holds a gun to the head of the State of Delaware demanding that federal loans be released earlier, what is/was Plan B for Boxwood? Did we put all our eggs in one basket and hope for the best? Or does Delaware have alternative plans to get these auto workers back to work?
