WASHINGTON — Congressman Steve LaTourette today introduced legislation that demands the White House better explain why it painted a positive portrait of Chrysler's future for all communities, only to be contradicted hours later with news of plant closings.
"Many people feel misled by this entire process," said LaTourette, who with other Congress members, governors and mayors believed from President Barack Obama's April 30 announcement that no permanent plant closings were planned.
Obama that day announced a short-term Chapter 11 bankruptcy for Chrysler in exchange for government aid, saying, "It will not disrupt the lives of the people who work at Chrysler or live in communities that depend on it."
He introduced legislation today demanding that the administration provide all information it has regarding the closing of Chrysler plants and 789 dealerships nationwide. If successful, his resolution would force the White House to provide all documents, records and communications regarding scheduled Chrysler plant closings that were not divulged by the administration or Chrysler until the plant names appeared in a bankruptcy filing, LaTourette's office said.
