Last week you posted a story from the Dallas News which said State Farm was acquiring office space in the Dallas area. The Dallas News then claimed that State Farm was moving its corporate headquarters out of Illinois because of high taxes. It claimed this even though State Farm said this was not the case and explained the office space in Dallas was for its southwest regional offices.
So today you post a story from Breitbart which is nothing more than a link to the very same Dallas News story. Putting the story on Breitbart does not make it any more true. Just the opposite.
How about finding a story from a local Bloomington, Il. newspaper. Like this one
http://www.pantagraph.com/business/l...9bb2963f4.html
This story says that State Farm is hiring so many people in the Bloomington area that there is not enough room for them at corporate headquarters. Some of them have to work from home part of the time. The story says State Farm is spending $2.8M to renovate offices at one of its Bloomington facilities. The story says that those offices will be used to house workers while other facilities are being rehabbed. The story says JustRalph is very gullible to believe anything on Breitbart. Ok, I made that last one up.
If State Farm were moving its headquarters, why would they be hiring people in Bloomington? Why would they be renovating and expanding their facilities there? Why would there be nothing in any of the Bloomington or Chicago papers about this move?
