Freeport mayor George Gaulrapp: This
company is competitive globally.
They
make a profit here. But Bain Capital
decided to squeeze it a little
further. |
Bain Capital, the firm in which GOP presidential candidate still has millions of dollars in shares, is
dismantling a profitable Freeport, Illinois auto sensor plant, owned by Sensata, in which Bain has a large stake, axing 170 employees and forcing them to train their Chinese replacements.
"I didn't have a clue what Bain was before this
happened," said Cheryl Randecker, 52, who apparently ignores politics until it affects her paycheck. "Now when I hear Romney speak it makes me
sick to my stomach."
