Someone should ask Sara Lee why

Posted October 12, 2011 5:00 am

Thank you for the paragraph in the Daily Herald, Oct 6, reporting of the sale of three of the five fresh bakery lines of the Sara Lee Corporation to a Mexican bakery line, Groupo Bimbo.

We watch as the taxes, regulations and union demands on corporations increase, driving American jobs to foreign countries, it seems as if state and federal either don’t know or don’t care.

Does it occur to Governor Quinn’s administration to go to Sara Lee and ask “why” they are leaving? Do federal regulators ask if perhaps fear of the new Obamacare mandates worry these companies?

We do not need another $900 billion dollar “stimulus” or even a $447 billion second stimulus. Could we do what it takes to keep private sector jobs where they already are, in Downers Grove?
