| Description | Nearly four years after National Gypsum shuttered its drywall plant in Lorain, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will reuse the facility on Henderson Drive as a backdrop for his message that President Barack Obama has failed to create jobs.
Romney's speech today will act as a rebuttal to remarks Obama delivered on Wednesday at Lorain County Community College, where the president praised the college's job-training efforts and claimed Republicans would cut such programs.
Republicans contend Obama has done almost nothing to create jobs.
City officials in Lorain question whether the drywall factory – which closed during the George W. Bush administration because of a construction industry slump -- could appropriately be used to illustrate that message. |
