    All 7 reps voted against it. The retribution was swift.

    http://www.thenewsstar.com/article/20100325/NEWS01/3250329/Feds-refuse-V-Vehicle

    The U.S. Department of Energy denied V-Vehicle Co.'s applications for more than $320 million in federal loans Wednesday, putting the new car company's project and the 1,400 Ouachita Parish jobs it planned to create in jeopardy.

    The day after Obamacare was signed into law. Coincidence? Add to the fact that this was a total blindside for the investors and state - they had been working with DOE and things were looking good.

    Company, state and local officials said they were blindsided by the rejection, which came more than a year after V-Vehicle applied for the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loans.



    "We were extremely surprised and disappointed by this decision," said Frank Varasano, founder and chief executive officer of V-Vehicle, in a press release. "Our yearlong discussions with the Department of Energy had left us confident and optimistic that the loan applications would be approved."

    The main investor is anti-obama and Jindal had heavily worked for this deal.

    oh ****. Not good at all. Up here at Tech we even had alot riding on V-Vehicle, for engineering jobs they would be hiring, mainly from us, donations to the school (we have some engines they donated to us to use in the mech engineering class on IC engines) And of course Monroe was needing the jobs that V was gonna be providing.....

    Was there a reason given for the rejection of loans?

    Ebony, the spokesman for the Dept, said the project didn't meet expected profitability....another way of saying Louisiana didn't support Obama

    Thats correct, oops, how did all those valves get shut!! LOL

    I've always said, if the South rose again, we'd just have to shut the valves on them!

    Do not buy anything built by the UAW. The unions are an arm of the DNC. I will never buy GM, Chrysler, or Ford. The union bosses and their Democrat supporting workers can go bankrupt as far as I care. Buy their cars support Obama.
