HARRISBURG (April 1) - President Barack Obama might want to consider asking for the resignation of several governors, including Gov. Ed Rendell, said state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, during a Wednesday news conference.
“President Obama was very quick to run to the private sector and ask for the resignation of the top individual in charge of [the General Motors] fiasco,” said Metcalfe. “I think he should be very quick to look at all of the states that have huge budget deficits that are looking for bailouts from the federal government, and maybe ask for Rendell to submit his resignation so that maybe we could get things back on track.”
Earlier this week, the Obama administration requested General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner to step down, which Wagoner did. GM received $13.4 billion in bridge loans to help it through one of the worst downturns the auto industry has ever experienced, but, according to the Obama administration, the company failed to provide, as required as part of the bridge loan deal, a restructuring plan that would result in a viable automobile company.
