VP To GE
KENTUCKY...
Vice President Joe Biden plans to visit the GE plant in Louisville on Monday to promote the job-creation benefits of the federal stimulus program. The White House says Biden will be at the headquarters of GE Appliances & Lighting to talk about how stimulus spending is creating jobs. GE is making a $600 million investment to expand manufacturing at its Appliance Park in Louisville. The investment is supported by $24.8 million in tax credits GE received under the stimulus program. The release says Gov. Steve Beshear and U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth will attend the event. Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway has a scheduling conflict and won't attend.
