GM says it's keeping its Detroit address

GM decides to stay and the Warren  Mayor Jim Fouts isn't all that happy about it. Says he hopes they aren't staying out of political correctness. Maybe it's about saving a city, Jimmy.

Excerpt:

General Motors will not abandon its headquarters in Detroit's Renaissance Center as part of its restructuring.

President Barack Obama told Michigan's senior members of Congress during a call Sunday night that GM will remain in the RenCen, despite enticements from the city of Warren to move there, a congressional aide briefed on the matter said.

Obama called it a "GM business decision," the aide said.

Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said his main focus has always been GM's survival. GM would have "saved millions and millions" by moving its headquarters to the Tech Center in lower-tax Warren, Fouts said Sunday night.
