CARtoon of the DAY: Tax Break MPG

The Dearborn Press &Guide - November 14

Not all of the auto industry recovery is "fueled" by federal help. Local communities and governments do their share to support the remaking of the industry as well. Last week, the Dearborn City Council helped the Ford Dearborn Stamping Plant with an MPG (miles per growth!) boost, in the form of a tax exemption on a plant expansion project.
That's the Point!

CARtoon of the DAY: Economic Tune Up!

The News-Herald - March 7

Downriver has been through some tough times. Let's face it, no matter what business you're in around here, you're in the automotive business. It's not just auto workers who've felt the pain of the economic downturn, it's the owners and workers at the dry cleaners, grocery stores, restaurants and other local businesses that auto workers patronize as well. But now, as things seem to be turning around at little, it's time to take a few moments to feel good about ourselves - about what we've lived through, and about the future we're helped build. There's a ways to go, no doubt, and there will probably still be more than a few bumps in the road, but I think we can all look with hope and pride to the "good new days" ahead.
That's the Point!

CARTOON of the DAY: 2012 - The Job Ahead

The News-Herald - January 1

In 2011, things were supposed to get better - and they did, for some and to some degree; but a lot remains to be accomplished and that's the challenge for 2012. Every presidential candidate will have "answers," but it's really up to us to be participants in making the New Year all it can be. Happy New Year to all my readers - may it be a prosperous and safe one for you.
That's the Point!

CARtoon of the DAY: CAR MBS - Healthy Auto Industry is Reason to Celebrate

The News-Herald and The Press & Guide - August 3
I spent three days in Traverse City this week, at the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) Management Briefing Seminars. I won't bore cartoon fans with industry insider stuff, but the overall tone of the conference was positive and upbeat. The auto industry is alive and well Downriver and in Dearborn - and throughout metro Detroit and Michigan. Good news for us all.
That's the Point!
