The company that Mitt Romney founded, Bain Capital, took control of Sensata Technologies in 2006. Bain Capital announced earlier this year that it would close the plant in Freeport, Illinois and layoff 165 workers there.

Love the last line there! I was wondering if this story would get any traction. Now I believe it is.
