Another Porkulous Success!

And by "success," we mean driving another job producer out of Illinois:

• A decision to restructure its beef operations has prompted Tyson Foods to abruptly close an Illinois facility, affecting about 2,500 workers in the Quad Cities area.

  Citing “one of the most historic cattle shortages the country has ever experienced,” Tyson Foods announced Thursday that it was permanently closing its beef processing plant in Joslin, Illinois, and its case-ready facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah. The company also announced plans to sell its beef processing facility in Pasco, Washington.

We drove through the Quad Cities a year or so ago on the way to somewhere else....and believe us, it can't afford to lose 2,500 decent paying jobs.
