I didn't expect them to leave. Companies get a bad rep when they leave a place that they have been at for a long time. Caterpillar has been a part of Peoria for a long time, it would be huge if they left.

DUUUUHHHHH!

That's why the Illinois gubmint bribed them.

I've watched the 3M drama play out before my eyes for the last couple of decades....The situation in Illinois is no different.

You either bribe the company to stay in the state, or you have Luverne truck bumpers (previously manufactured in Luverne, MN) made in in Iowa (EDIT) South Dakota.

Oh chill out. I know people in Peoria, some that work in the corporate office. They love it there and don't want to relocate.

Whether employees love it there is irrelevant to the overall business environment in the state.

Cities like Des Moines and Sioux Falls are living large on the shortsightedly greedy taxation and regulatory structures in Minnesota.

True story.
