...they're closing Rockford. There are 340,000 people in greater Rockford!
A quick perusal of the locations for Illinois show 3 other offices probably the closest to Rockford are 70, 71, & 87 miles away.
But, the office in Pekin is spared despite the one in Peoria being only 15 or so minutes away.
Hmmm....
Northern Illinois, blue; central Illinois red.
Smells political.
