The 2nd part of the loan is for a Delaware plant that will never be used as stated. So far the company has laid off 26 workers from the Delaware location.

The Koche brothers are so secretive that every media outlet in the world mentions their name at least once a day. A liberal friend of mine knows all the dirt on the Koche brothers but has never heard of George Soros.
