Boeing operates a world class aircraft facility at Wichita Kansas .
even AIR FORCE ONE , was made at Wichita !!
when Boeing lost the air-tanker contract to Air-Bus of Europe .
Boeing asked for help to get this contract back .
Boeing made multiple statements , that amounted to promises .
if Boeing won the contract it would stay at the Wichita plant ,and a possible 7,500 new jobs could be added .
Boeing benefited from a massive lobbying effort by it's own employees
by all the union members who worked at Wichita .
the city of Wichita , the state of Kansas and the congressional delegation
from Kansas , they all lobbied aggressively for Boeing .
now that Boeing has won this $35-billion contract .
Boeing now regrets that it will close the Wichita plant ????
Kansas lawmakers like U.S. Sen.
Pat Roberts, who said Boeing had promised
as recently as February to remain in Wichita if it landed the tanker contract.
Roberts and others urged the company to reconsider.
i say that Boeing won this contract through lies and deceit !!
and there must come a time when our politicians and our corporations
are held accountable for their actions , their words , and especially their
promises that were made to us !!
