Congressman Paul Ryan's office is asking Oshkosh Corporation if the Janesville General Motors plant could be used to help fill a $1 billion Pentagon order.
Ryan Chief of Staff Andy Speth says inquiries began months ago about Oshkosh Corporation developing a working relationship with Janesville's General Motors plant.
Oshkosh Corporation plans to see whether other manufacturers could help fill the contract for more than 2200 military all-terrain vehicles.

What makes zero sense? Hardly seven lines of print which spelled out a need and a solution written so a third grader could understand it. I can relate to a bitter pessimism that has encapsulated Janesville, but what are the other options. I could give an r.a. whether it was Paul Ryan or Tammy Baldwin. The guy is making an effort to see what the possibilities are. This situation has a much higher likely hood than what transpired with GM a week ago.

Well at least Paul Ryan can say he asked, even though it makes zero sense.
