Amway’s DeVos Does He Have What it Takes?

 Political Affairs Magazine

Michigan voters can’t trust Dick DeVos. He says one thing – about jobs, Michigan schools, and ethics – but his record says another.

He has spent millions on slick TV ads describing himself has a “job-maker.” He claims he will bring jobs to the state, but he doesn’t say how. And his record shows something altogether different. While he was the CEO of Amway, he laid off over 1,300 workers. Three years later his company announced plans to invest $220 million in production facilities in another country. He has lobbied Congress in support of free trade policies that have killed tens of thousands of jobs in Michigan.
