Jennifer <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/g/jennifer_m_gra nholm/index.html?inline=nyt-per> M. Granholm, a Democrat, was bitterly disappointed by Electrolux's decision to abandon Greenville. She had promised to persuade the company to stay, assembling a package of more than $120 million in state and local tax credits. The city offered to build a new plant. The local union agreed to give up as much as $33 million a year in wages. "They said, 'There is nothing you can do to compensate for the fact that we are able to pay $1.57 an hour in Mexico,' " Ms. Granholm recalled during a recent interview. "That's when I started to say, 'Nafta and Cafta have given us the shafta,' " she added, using the acronyms for the North American and Central American free trade agreements. !DSPAM:2676,47fa5f8e227562144510281!
