Dold sold out county to Tea Party

Posted October 31, 2014 1:01 am

Ex-Congressman Dold did nothing while Rick Perry moved jobs from Lake County to Texas. The timeline is obvious.

Bob Dold was in Congress from January 2011 through December of 2012, when Motorola declared bankruptcy, reorganized and began building a factory in Fort Worth, Texas, to manufacture smartphones in the United States.

It began operations in the spring of 2013 and at its peak, the factory employed 3,800 workers. During the whole time period of Motorola's reorganization, there is nothing to show that Dold did anything to benefit the working people of Lake County.

It appears that Dold was willing to stab Lake County workers in the back in order to serve Tea Party icons like Rick Perry.

Over 575 Motorola jobs were lost in Libertyville during the Republican caused Great Recession, and Dold did nothing to stop the suffering during his time in Office. Dold served the interests of The Tea Party, not the interests of working people in Lake County. Jerry Vigue, Libertyville
