Michigan Democrats received heavy backlash from residents for approving a $170 million Chinese-backed green energy project, with furious citizens pleading with the committee to"do what is right."
Saez said she was disappointed in"dishonest" local lawmakers siding with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer , who had announced in October that Gotion High Tech, the parent company of Gotion, would invest $2.4 billion in order to build two production plants in the state."Quite frankly, this is not what any of us were elected to do. I'm certain that when taking an oath, giving American dollars to a foreign company that puts our national security at risk was not in question," Saez said.
Cheryl Vitito, a resident of Big Rapids, said the project would help the Chinese Communist Party in its mission to"overthrow the United States without firing a shot." Kyle Luce, the supervisor of Barton Township, which is located near the proposed facility, said 85% of his residents polled are opposed to Gotion's project.
Marjorie Steele, a Big Rapids resident, said she was"angry" that the measure got quickly scheduled without assessing"due diligence" over the risks.
