This does not look good for Del. John O'Bannon (R-73).
...O’Bannon opposed grant money for the Henrico branch of computer chip manufacturer Qimonda. Several months later Qimonda laid off 1,500 workers. Eventually the branch was shut down, costing Virginia 1,200 more jobs. 2,700 total.John O'Bannnon really needs to go. If you want to help his Democratic opponent, Tom Shields, please click here. Thanks.
O’Bannon claimed, how could he know? O’Bannon says he had NO IDEA that Qimonda would lose jobs!
Except as we now know, that’s not true at all. As the video [above] clearly shows, the House of Delegates was notified in late 2008 that the plant was in danger of closing and would cost significant numbers of jobs. Democrat Joe Morrissey helpfully pointed that out for him.
John O’Bannon got caught in a huge lie. Well, maybe it’s not a lie. Perhaps he wasn’t there the day the future of 2,700 Virginia workers was decided...
