It would seem that Democrat candidate for the 73rd House Seat Tom Shields is accusing Incumbent Delegate John O’Bannon, MD of rewriting history. One would think that Shields would at least check his facts before throwing such an accusation at his opponent. Delegate Joe Morrissey, in arguing for accelerated grant payments said the plant might close without the $14 million grant advance. Morrisey failed to mention that 2 months before his attempt to give money to Qimonda, they sold off a large piece of their 200mm chip equipment for $289 million. He also failed to mention that this money went to the parent company in Germany, who was struggling due to the sharp fall in computer memory prices.
