Toyota jobs leave GOP area

With the news that Toyota is moving 1,600 jobs out of Erlanger, Republican officials are already pointing fingers at "the liberals."

Is that a fact, Repubs? It just so happens that almost every county official in Kenton and Boone counties is a Republican. Where were their efforts to keep Toyota from moving out?

Where were Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and Thomas Massie?

Where were the state lawmakers who represent that part of town - all of whom are also Republican?

Long story short: Almost every government official in that part of the area is Republican, but they have done absolutely zero to stem the job losses. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP cost Campbell County a much-needed economic bonanza by scuttling the Cincinnati Spiders proposal, and now the rest of the area is finding out what it's like.
