GM’s Janesville assembly plant closed Dec. 23, putting the plant's remaining 1,200 workers out of a job.

Here's a chance to brush up on your calendar scholarliness:
If an article is written on December 29, 2008, and references a plant closing on December 23 in the past tense, what is the latest year to which that article can be referring?
There is no need to re-write the question in your answer.
"Oh, but 50 people stuck around until April to crank out a few Izuzu parts and decommission the plant! It's clearly Obama's fault!"
Bullshit.
