Ford Motor expresses concern about Mason

Ford Motor Company officials are in communication with the Tennessee Comptroller about its financial takeover plans for Mason, Tenn., a small majority Black town located less than five miles from the automaker’s new electric vehicle plant, a company spokesman said Friday.

Tennessee Comptroller Jason Mumpower announced this week the state would be taking financial control of Mason, over the objections of elected officials who have said race is playing a role in the state’s focus on their town — an allegation Comptroller Jason Mumpower has denied.

The statement from Ford said company officials are “aware of the long-running situation between Mason and the State of Tennessee but we have not been directly involved.”

will get the backlash of their history--and deserve every damned bit of it. The political and activist attack ads will write themselves: "Ford returns to its Pro-Nazi/anti-Democracry roots..." as but a start.
