FRANKFORT, Ky.– “Today's news from Toyota about reduced production for our Kentucky plant is concerning, but we recognize the extraordinary challenges Toyota faces in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami.  Toyota is an outstanding corporate citizen, and its employees are among the best in Kentucky.  Toyota has worked hard to accommodate employees, and it is good to hear that there are no layoffs as part of this announcement.  We stand prepared to assist in any way we can.”
