NYT:
The two presidential campaigns are still arguing about when Mitt
Romney left Bain Capital, but from a political perspective the date
really doesn't matter, because Bain never left Mitt Romney. The
company's business practices, before and after his departure, will trail
him wherever he goes, and now they have turned up in the northern
Illinois city of Freeport.
There's a plant in Freeport that makes
sensors and controls for cars and airplanes. It's owned by Sensata
Technologies, a company that Bain bought in 2006, somewhere between four
and seven years after Mr. Romney left the company. Last year, Sensata
announced that it was moving the plant to China at the end of 2012 and
laying off all 170 workers, and now those workers are asking Mr. Romney to intervene with his colleagues to save their jobs.
"If
he wanted to, all he needs to do is call up the management of Bain
Capital and say, 'Look, don't do this,' " one worker, Tom Gaulrapp, told Reuters.
