I drive by this plant and "Bainport" every day. I
feel for the employees, many of whom are friends and patients, but this has
been going on with this plant, previously Honeywell, for the last decade.
Friends have had to train their replacements in Mexico, India and China. The
only reason this is making more news is that it is a Presidential election year
and it has become a rallying point for the Democratic ticket. We are losing
jobs left and right, even the Unemployment office is scheduled to be closed by our
Democratic Governor Quinn, but I don't see the Reverends Jackson or Sharpton
out protesting this, because it doesn't support their cause of pinning it on
Romney. And while President Obama is not invested in Bain Capital, neither has
he returned more than $125,000 in donations for his campaign from them either.
Much like Fairgrounds Road, where "Bainport" has set up camp, this is
not a one-way street. Sensata and Sensibility The President and Bain Capital
