Toyota's Plano move to bring 4,000 jobs from California, New York, Kentucky
2014-04-29
[DALLASNEWS] Toyota plans to start moving people to its new U.S. headquarters in Plano starting this summer.

The headquarters relocation -- confirmed Monday afternoon -- will bring about 4,000 jobs from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Kentucky and New York.

The worldwide automaker said it will consolidate its three separate North American headquarters for manufacturing, sales and marketing, and corporate operations to a state-of-the-art campus to be built in Plano.

#11  Do you really WANT all those libral types arriving?

No!

Will 4000 New Democrat voters bee nought to swing the Dallas elections?

Not all of the 4000 jobs will be filled by employees moving to Dallas. Some won't move. Besides, due to Dallas demographic mix, most of the city and some of the county seats are usually held by democrats.

#8  The moral of that story, tw, is that one should never be complacent about the future.

Particularly governors, etc.

#7  According to the Cincinnati news:

ERLANGER, Ky. -- Northern Kentucky faces a $3 million nosedive in tax revenue as a result of Toyota's decision to relocate its North American manufacturing headquarters and 1,600 workers from its 44-acre campus that carries an Erlanger address and spreads into Boone County.

By all accounts, state and regional leaders – from the governor's office to Erlanger's city hall – were blind-sided Monday morning when Toyota officials met with Gov. Steve Beshear to break the news.

Now they're scrambling to come up with plans to retain as many of highly-skilled employees as possible and covering the economic gap.

#6  Irving, Plano and Frisco Texas are not suburbs of Dallas. They're cities in their own right. And Frisco, isn't even located in Dallas County. It's in Collin and Denton counties.

#5  With all of the politics capturing the headlines, Perry took advantage of this and made things happen for his state. Good one on him. The article was a bit misleading to me. It seems most of the jobs will move from CA. The Kentucky site is manufacturing, maybe they are taking a little of the leadership to TX. Moving the manufacturing from KY would not go well. They are the largest employer in KY and they have been the FLOT against the unions. They have held the line against all unions and pulling stakes would come with some repercussions.

#3  Now's the time for Sacramento to institute an "emigrants" tax so they can still get their "fair share" of other people's money.

#2  Governor Perry appears to work hard for his constituents and get things done. Quite a contrast from what we've seen for the past 5 years coming out of the White House. Perhaps he is focused on ALL Texans.

Rick Perry's hunting trips are making an impact.

Irving, TX (Dallas Suburb) - "Las Colinas Area - Mustang Plaza Above" - Home of 2,000 corporations.
Plano, TX (Dallas Suburb) - Home of Northern Telecom, Erricsson, up the freeway from Texas Instruments, in Richardson. Tx (Dallas Suburb)
Frisco, TX (Dallas, Suburb) - Booming with numerous big name corporations.

DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit rail, bus system, hov) and TxDOT highway system is expanding tremendously.
