his econd budget m sage, High­
land Park Mayor Linsey Porter said
the impact of Chrysler's deci ion to
move its world headquarters out of
Highland Park should have a more

ler's move i 1995.
Karen Stewart of Chrylser Public
Relation Department, said in a
phone interview, that Chrysler
moved out a ub tantial amount of its

from other facilities in the Detroit
area that were clo ing.
She said there were 3,000 people
still at the Highland Park headquar­
ters, i ncl udi n herself.
However, she added that Mayor
Porter may have gotten the impres­
sion that more people were being
moved out, because of unexpected
layoffs of 12,000 white collar work­
eIS due to cutba ks.
"WE LL R com-
pany than we were before," she aid.
