Michigan town votes to oust entire govt. over Chinese factory plans
Residents were upset over the board approving a China-linked factory
Resident: "We want everyone to have a voice, not have any secrecy anymore"
The new board will be sworn in on Wednesday
(NewsNation) โ A rural Michigan town voted to oust its entire local government Tuesday after the town board approved a Chinese-affiliated electric battery plant.
Residents of Green Charter Township, Michigan, strongly disapproved of their local township boardโs decision to greenlight the construction of a Chinese-connected electric vehicle battery plant in their community.
A locksmith was even brought in Tuesday night to change the locks on the ousted officialsโ former offices. The offices are now empty.
The project was expected to create more than 2,300 jobs as part of a $2.34 billion investment.
Despite the backlash from residents, the board moved forward with the Chinese-affiliated project.
โMy family members fought communism, and youโre bringing it right here,โ a local resident said last year.
When NewsNation visited the town in April, a resident named Corri Riebow who had no experience in politics said, โI donโt know (why they would approve it), other than somebody must be benefitting from it.โ
Riebow then ran for clerk and won last night. โWe just plan on making it as difficult as we possible for them to continue their process. They donโt even have a sight planned, they donโt have permits yet, so, weโre not their friend,โ Riebow said of how the new government is going to handle Gotion, the company behind the plant.
However, itโs the possible communist connection that so many Green Charter Township residents said drove them to the polls and fueled the townโs anger.
The Chinese-affiliated company Gotion previously denied allegiance to the communist party of China. However, its corporate records say, โThe company shall set up a party organization and carry out party activities in accordance with the constitution of the communist party of China.โ
โRight now, we are not on friendly terms with China. They are threatening us. I consider them the enemy. I donโt want them here, either,โ resident Harry King said.
With the overwhelming distrust for the townโs government, a clerk from a neighboring township ran the election and counted the ballots.
Cheers erupted as voters heard the results from the recall election held to vote out the entire town board.
The new board will be sworn in on Wednesday, and the process to keep Gotion out of their township will begin. Gotion has already bought the property, so the new board is expecting a long road ahead, but they said they are willing to fight.
โWe want everyone to have a voice and not have any secrecy anymore. This whole thing that went down with Gotion was horrible from the first go around. And like I said, the people have spoken,โ one woman told NewsNation during Tuesday nightโs election celebration.
NewsNation reached out to Gotion for a comment. The company responded: โWe are a multinational company and donโt believe in political posturing and are still committed to bringing thousands of jobs to the state of Michigan.โ
