WILMINGTON, OH - DECEMBER 19: Ohio state Senator Sherrod Brown (Dem), leads a town hall meeting December 19, 2008 in Wilmington, Ohio. Brown, along with local leaders and residents, discussed the real possibility of economic collapse due to massive layoffs in Wilmington, a town of 12,000 people, and the surrounding areas. The job cuts between air shipping partners DHL and ABX, the two largest employers in Wilmington, will total between 7,000-10,000 lost jobs. The resulting high rate of unemployment is expected to devestate the local economy, both in terms of joblessness and in lost tax revenues to support schools and basic services in the area.
