back November 21, 2005 Ryan Hails GM Decision to Keep Relying on Janesville Plant for Top Quality Vehicles In light of General Motors’ announcement this morning about plans to close various plants as part of restructuring its manufacturing operations but to maintain the Janesville General Motors plant, First District Congressman Paul Ryan made the following statement:  “This is tremendous news for Janesville. The GM plant and its workers are the heart of our community and this decision by GM to keep the Janesville plant operating is a testament to their top-quality manufacturing and productivity. I have been in constant contact with GM to make sure they know what an asset this plant and its people are, and how we stand ready to play a vital role as GM moves forward this century. I will keep working in Congress and with the GM Janesville community to make sure we keep our competitive edge and protect workers’ jobs and pensions.”   Print Contact: Kate Matus (202) 226-7326
