Rep. Kunse to press MEDC for answers on Gotion's missed obligations

State Rep. Tom Kunse, R-Clare, announced Monday his intention to press the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) for answers after Gotion, Inc. failed to meet several key requirements tied to its state-funded development agreement.

In a letter sent to MEDC Director Quentin Messer Jr., Kunse outlined concerns over missed construction benchmarks, unmet job creation targets, and a lack of documentation needed to verify compliance.

“When companies accept taxpayer dollars, they must be held to their promises,” said Kunse. “Gotion isn’t living up to its end of the deal, and the people of Michigan deserve answers.”

Kunse is asking the MEDC to explain what corrective actions are being taken, and if none are planned, why the agency considers this behavior acceptable.

“As the state representative of the district where Gotion is located, I have a responsibility to protect our taxpayers and ensure transparency,” said Kunse. “Our communities were told this investment would deliver jobs and growth, but instead we are seeing delays and broken commitments.”

A representative for MEDC was contacted, but they declined to comment.
