Toyota Camrys are made right down the road from me in Georgetown, Kentucky. When the plant opened in the mid '80s, it was to be state of the art factory ... both in terms of equipment and management team building. No need for union involvement. This was a "new age" plant where teams of workers would solve problems hand in hand with management. Some 50,000 people applied for a few thousand jobs.

In recent months, I now see stories in the newspaper about organizing efforts at the plant. Seems that the Toyota workers haven't kept pace with their bluegrass union counterparts across the state at the GM 'Vette plant in Bowling Green.

I guess it was fun while it lasted in G'town.

If even 1/1000 of the budget that each candidate spent on election advertising was instead used to buy state of the art voting machines we would not have the current mess. A vote count should be a HARD number that can not change after the voting has ended. How about a tax on political ads to fund upgrading of the election process?
