Whether or not State Farm was sold,it makes no
never mind about whether or not people lose jobs.
I attended the opening.It's my impression State Farm took great pride in retaining staff long term
and in fact most employees came with them to
Aurora.
The fact the operation was sold and the Incumbent Mayor gave assurances no loss would accrue to the town matters little.
The town could have done nothing even if it did mean losing jobs and assessment. The retention and expansion job description in the administration is a bunch of twaddle.
Neither mayoralty candidate stood to win or lose on the issue.
Character was not an option either.
In the world in general, poltics is in a state of ...
Flux.
Netenyahu is forming a government with the extreme right-wing in Israel. That can't be good.
The Scottish National Party has replaced Labour in the U.K. Cameron's majority is a questionable advantage. America's best ally may have become their biggest liability.
Alberta beef-eaters have elected the N.D.P.with five experienced M.P.s and tons of other problems.
We'll see how that turns out.

Natanyahu is Israel's biggest problem.

I agree completely. Municipal governments have little, if any, say in how a company manages it's workforce. However, the weak minded in the public hear things from Dawe and Gallo and actually beleive that a Mayor has that influence.
The reality is, the State Farm sale was handled out of Bloomington, Illinois and all of the "twaddle" about no jobs will be lost is standard fare.
If a National Government cannot prevent job loss (like at GM Oshawa), certainly a bedroom community Mayor has less power than that.
I wish that people would understand the limits of influence.
