By abandoned General Motors property, I hope you mean the property across the street from the plant on Jackson St., which is the old GM/UAW Training Center. This is the only "abandoned" site left behind in bankruptcy and is owned by Motors Liquidation Co. The plant is still owned by General Motors Co., therefore not abandoned.

tracco6: Don't be surprised if you and your wife find yourselves moving back to Janesville in 2012-2013. This is when they will move production from Arlington back to Janesville for the next gen full-size SUV (C3XX) build. Granted, the plant will be modeled after Orion with a huge tier 2 structure, but it will happen.

my3boys: Stable company? I would say GM was a pretty stable company in Janesville considering the plant opened in 1919, started building Chevys in 1923 and went on standby in 2009. I would say that was a pretty stable time. Jobs were provided for thousands. Not too many other companies in the state can say that.

It would be a wise decision for Janesville to still purchase Chevrolet police cars.
On How generous are health care benefits for teachers?

I applaud Mr. Peck for bringing this up. He is right. Now that General Motors has temporarily idled the Janesville plant, the target of having the Cadillac health plans has turned to the teachers. Next it will be the police and firefighters and so on. It was easy for the public and media to paint a picture of an autoworker's health benefits being top-notch. The NEA and IAFF negotiated the same way the UAW has on benefits. They bargain for the best coverage they can for their members, period. That is the job of the union and why members pay dues to support it. I used to love hearing the teachers and professors in business classes preach how unions were the enemies. They never seemed to think about the organization they were a member of. The same people that demanded autoworkers to give up their Cadillac plans. Now the tides have turned. To me, that's hypocrisy.

JohnWayne- The only plants GM has on standby are Janesville and Spring Hill. That's it. It would not take Janesville that long to tool up....at least for trucks. Only time it would need would be to install the body shop tooling. Flex line for cars....yes, probably 10 months. Orchid in Monroe is producing electric motor components...not a battery. As for the crybabies you mention, every employer with the amount of employees General Motors has, there are going to be bad apples....whether that be GM, Apple, McDonald's, teachers, real estate agents, doctors, etc etc.

The_One: GM will re-tool Janesville Assembly once they get the retooling loans from the gov't that Ford, Nissan, Tesla and and Fisker already received. You can bet on it.

OKC is no longer owned by General Motors Company or Motors Liquidation Co. (or "Old GM"). The State of OK purchased it and now leases it to the Air Force.
