          Toyota in Gibson County celebrated 20 years and  the production of its 5 millionth vehicle yesterday.

          Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb was on hand and actually bought that new Sequoia. WAMW caught up with Holcomb at Wednesday night’s Lincoln Day Dinner in Pike County and he talked to the crowd about watching the plant grow over the past two decades…

          The Governor just got back from a nine day trip in Japan where he got to meet and greet Toyota officials in Toyota City. There he signed a special agreement which only 3 states have with Japan…

          That memorandum had to do with cultural sharing and economic cooperation.

          By the way the new Sequoia the Governor purchased was paid for through his office to replace a Sequoia in the state’s fleet with over 200,000 miles.

          The governor went on to say he was proud to tout Indiana’s strengths while making presentations to Japanese industry and business officials…

           130  people attended last night’s gathering including the party faithful, local elected officials, State Representative Mike Braun and State Senator Mark Messmer and 8th District Congressman Larry Bucshon.
