As a native of Tecumseh and a descendant of hardworking people who toiled their lives away at the Tecumseh Products, I admit I was saddened, but not surprised by the company’s recent announcement. I have anticipated this announcement for a number of years as the local workforce at the plant has steadily decreased over the past fifteen years. Additionally, the Company has struggled with profitability in recent years. In 2005, the Company endured a loss of $223.5 million. In 2006, the loss was $80.3 million.

I would like to comment on “Grateful for Tecumseh Products” in last weeks Opinion section. Yes, we should be thankful to the company and the owners for what they have done for this city. However, I was disappointed that you barely mentioned the 5,000 men and women who were the labor force that made Tecumseh Products run. Without them the owners could not have accomplished what they did.

What a sad day that the Tecumseh Products is moving 30 miles up the road.
The owners must have no idea about the history of the factory.

Ray Herrick came from Hillsdale with holes in his shoes. Gathered men who needed jobs, and who worked for no pay, to help Ray get started. Soon it became a good place to work.

Ray promised the men would be taken care of and he was good on his word.  He loved his workers and the city, and he was respected.

Many people argue that capital punishment is the only solution to preventing criminals from committing more crimes.  The same proponents suggest that rehabilitation in prison is ineffective.  However, states prohibiting capital punishment has resulted in positive turnouts.
