Washington — Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will hold a meeting with chief executives of major Michigan companies, including General Motors CEO Dan Akerson.

During his visit Thursday to Detroit, he will hold a private roundtable discussion with CEOs to gauge the state of Michigan's economy. He will also meet with Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne when he tours the Jefferson North Assembly plant.

Geithner will make remarks and take questions when he's interviewed in a forum at the Detroit Economic Club during his first visit to Detroit since taking office in January 2009.

Chrysler plans to formally announce Thursday its intent to refinance its $7 billion in government loans to coincide with Geithner's visit.

Absolutely perfect, and they'd have a shot at some local teevee news coverage.
