Michigan's governor hopes auto execs fly commercial on next trip to Washington

LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm is confident the Detroit Three automakers will successfully persuade Congress to give relief to the battered industry next month.

But she agrees symbolism is important and hopes auto executives fly commercial on their next trip to Washington.

Granholm told reporters Friday that General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC must better explain their future plans to lawmakers.

She says domestic autos can't be allowed to fail because they're crucial to national security. She also says the U.S. can't afford to let Asia dominate the development of batteries used in plug-in vehicles at the same time the Middle East controls the world's oil.

Granholm says autos must argue they're the engine, not the caboose of energy independence.
