"Alcoa Inc. will close an automotive components factory in Ohio and lay off its staff in a bid to cut excess capacity, the Pittsburgh-based company said Tuesday.

Alcoa said it would close the Northwood, Ohio, facility by the end of 2004 and take a total of $7 million in charges related to the move. Closing the plant will put 140 people out of work."

Here that thud? That is OH falling out of Bush's pocket.
