FRANKFORT, Ky. (February 9, 2010)—Kentucky State Rep. Charlie Hoffman, whose district includes a Toyota plant, is urging people to pray for the automaker and its employees in the wake of massive recalls that have tarnished the company's image.
“We definitely need to be pulling for them and praying for them to get through this situation,” he said.
Hoffman noted that many families depend on jobs provided by Toyota in "these perilous economic times."
The automaker's production plant in Georgetown, Ky., employs about 6,600 full-time workers, but last week, work shut down on one of two production lines at the Georgetown plant as Toyota dealt with fallout from a recall over a sticky accelerator.
Kim Menke, manager of community and government relations at the Georgetown plant, said Hoffman's prayer request, which he made at a recent legislative breakfast, was well received.

I applaid this lawmaker for realizing that prayer is needed to assist Toyota in finding the correct method of dealing with this issue that heavenly father might give them the wisdom to deal with it in a manner that is honorable so that his fellow constituents will not be affected by this. Kudos for the lawmaker for finding a place for heavenly father in this. More lawmakers should do the same.
