Caterpillar to close plants in Sterling and Dixon « Classics Hits 103.9 WLPO
This hits a little too close for comfort and leads to the question "why". Does the fault lie with the state or the local cities? Illinois continues to bleed industry with no end in sight.

CAT will slowly move out of Illinois unless this corrupt state enacts Right to Work Legislation and stops treating businesses like a piggy bank for corrupt programs.
Agree 100% 7:44p.m.!!

Justin, as you well know what one must remember, unlike Peru corporate businesses have short and long range planning and once implemented they follow the plan and it is very hard to persuade them to change these plans.
Locally economic development has become more of of the same in a different location (CVS, Casey's etc.) another donuts shop, or a increase in liquor licenses classifications (Hy-Vee grocery store on premise serving). The state and city will not be happy until they can put a video gaming machine into your pocket as long as they can obtain their 25% and 5% take. When you have to base your financial success on gaming you become involved in a very unstable economy continuously taking from one to financially supply another. Presently the state and cities have created a financial windfall for itself utilizing poor business practices which is out of control and they are unprepared to govern. Texas appears to be a role model of development, what steps are they taking for this progress.
8:27. For many years Texas has focused on creating a fair legal system that avoids frivolous lawsuits as well as low taxes, two key ingredients for a prosperous business climate
Justin, the state and local area are similar in that no matter what amount of charges they collect they are giving us nothing in return.
The state government employee and the city employees are much more costly than the comparative private occupations in both pay and benefits. What remains is directed to the politician.
1:28. Well we are getting certain services in return for our money but I agree that privatizing them is a much, much better alternative
The city council meeting held a week ago is not on the city web site. Many are interested in hearing the Mayor, council, and citizen in discussion and straw vote as only the meeting before the Mayor asked someone not to express themselves.
Moving for one reason Useless unions ruining another American company
