Exclamation The OKC...

plant will be the first to close come early 2006.

That production plant knew its days were numbered with production of the SUV, which has had awful lagging sales for the past few years.

About 2,300 will lose their jobs in OKC...Not nearly as bad as when Lucent laidoff 10,000 in OKC at the end of the 90's, But the estimated income loss for the state due to the plant closing will be around 1 billion a year.
