Dixon cratered family's foundry

Post by TC Talks » Wed Sep 07, 2022 1:09 pm

It seems the Republicans didn't vet their candidate very well and she bankrupted her family's business laying off the entire workforce.

I can't see how any Blue collar Republican would be interested in voting for her. I find it particularly interesting how she has touted her time working at the company as a H*** success...
MUSKEGON — An empty field marks the spot where Tudor Dixon began her professional career in Michigan’s steel industry, surrounding warehouses the only visible reminders of her family's foundry that shuttered in late 2012 and was later demolished.

Dixon, the Republican nominee for governor, has touted her seven years as an executive at Michigan Steel Inc. as evidence she’s prepared for “tough battles” as governor. She has distanced herself, though, from the eventual collapse of her father’s firm, which occurred three years after she left the company upon becoming pregnant with her first child.

But court records reviewed by Bridge Michigan indicate the Muskegon foundry struggled with cash flow while Dixon worked there, well before Michigan Steel laid off its entire workforce — which had topped at near 300 employees — and liquidated the company her dad purchased in 2002.

"They were always slow payment," said Tim Kmiecik. CEO of White Eagle Steel of Spring Lake, which sued Michigan Steel over unpaid bills from 2008.

"It seemed to be half-assed, to be quite frank."

Dixon's campaign declined an interview request about her tenure at the steel foundry. In an email, a spokesperson said Dixon was “not involved in or aware of any of the lawsuits” and described her role in the company in more limited terms than she has in the past.

So she’s either lying about not knowing what was up with being sued for unpaid bills or she embellished her role there… Not surprised. She’s down 13 to Whitmer right now. Hammering this will hurt her. This is what you get when the person who would have gotten 8% and ran in 5th in the primary wins.

With 13% undecided, where undecideds break toward the challenger. An incumbent under 50% = vulnerable. No wonder tyrant Whitmer wants to avoid debates. Her record is abysmal and she should have to answer for her illegal shutdowns EVERY. FUCKING. DAY.

I'm not surprised that, once again, TCT did not source his copy/paste.

Undecideds don’t all break for the challenger… and her approval is in the mid-50’s. You’re likely to lose this one bud.

I'm not making a prediction - I just don't think it's a done deal. I can say that if Whitmer wins, we all lose.

She’s at 48… with 13% undecided. It’s extremely unlikely they would break 12-1 for the challenger. “We all lose” is relative… if 54% approve of her and she wins In a blowout (7% or more) the will of the voters will disagree with you. Whatever the majority number is will be thinking “we all lose” if we put Tudor in.

Matt,

Can we ridicule you relentlessly when Whitmer wins?

In this case it did actually say it right in the article. Not exactly citing but one would begin to ask you questions if you couldn’t pick up on that…

If a quote isn't properly cited I don't even read it. Why would I? It's hypothetically possible he could have made up the whole thing.
You don't think citing sources is proper or important either? Did you go to high school? Why are you defending an uncited quote?

And at the bottom of every post he does it says "© 2022 TC Talks Holdings LP. All Rights Reserved. By reading my content you agree to my privacy policy and my terms of usage. Down with the Man."
