I think we as citizens need to salute those folks in Erie who went far out of their way to make the GE Shareholder meeting such a success.  GE Boss Jeff Immelt wrote a thank-you note to Erie praising the community and it’s people.  You can read it here.  As Mr. Immelt said, the city sparkled and the welcome the attendees received was tremendous.  In driving around the city, signs were visible all over welcoming GE to our Great City by the Great Lake. 

 Erie, I salute you for stepping up to the plate.  That was a hell of a home run!!!
