Election 2004 The Swing States: Down To The Wire

Moraine Losing 1,150 Jobs As Gm Slashes Costs Third Shift Tobecut

MORAINE -- City officials breathed a collective sigh of relief Monday that the Moraine Assembly Plant does not appear on General Motors' list of plant closings.

DAYTON-- About 37.3 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from their homes for the Thanksgiving holiday, a slight 0.8 percent increase from last year's 37 million travelers, according to the American Automobile Association.

Cutsaim Tosave $7billion

That plant makes extended versions of the same sport utility vehicles made at GM's Moraine Assembly plant.

The increase is designed to offset the higher cost of natural gas caused by increased demand, tight supplies and damage caused by Hurricane Katrina to Gulf Coast distribution facilities, Vectren spokesman Mike Roeder said.
