Gray Swoope, executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority, is proud of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal for not spilling the beans about Toyota. Turns out the paper was well aware of the intricate mating dance leading up to the announcement of the automaker’s decision to build a plant in Union County.
