He places emphasis on Mississippi's willingness to work for lower wages, which has been the knock against Toyota even before their decision to choose Tupelo over Marion.

Rep. David Dunn, my roommate down here at Capitol Square and Chamber executive from nearby Forrest City, is upset at this third snub from Toyota. He thinks this was Marion's best shot after being passed over in favor of San Antonio and then Ontario. He's been giving telephone interviews from the apartment to local media back over in the Delta since sun up.
