Sen. Elizabeth Dole told the Kinston newspaper yesterday that, contrary to media reports, the Global TransPark is still in the running for a plant that will serve as a key supplier to the new Boeing Dreamliner plant that the GTP lost out on in 2003.

Among the evidence advanced for the misreporting here is that the Alabama newspaper in question called Jim Hunt the current governor of North Carolina ? a forgiveable error, given that the current governor is hard to find. Another point: the newspaper stated that the site in Kingston had been ruled out, but until now no one had heard of Jamaica?s Global TransPark.
