Pay frozen for auto contract workers

Excuse me what!?!

So yeah if as you will read things aren't going so well here in Automation Alley. Working in the auto industry right now is about as lucrative as collecting cans for deposit money. Trouble is here in SE Michigan what else are you going to do? I think they did themselves in a long time ago and things will never be great around here. There is so much investment, venture capital and initiative needed to break free from the rut that we have gotten ourselves in that it seems nearly impossible to over come.

The governor has the right idea with the cool cities program but that too needs reinforcement from the private sector and the local municipalities to be effective at all. Twenty years from now I will be interested to see what becomes of this region.
