Living in KS, I get only the Boeing side of this. (big factory in Wichita)The KS pols are really throwing the bull. However, from the national media, it looks like Boenig screwed itself with crooked business practices and no-bid contracts.
That’s the way it is here in WA, the media plays everything in Boeings favor. The union at Boeing in Seattle absolutely went nuts when this was announced.
I don’t know the particulars as yet but like another poster stated, if Murtha is against the awarded contract I tend to think it might be on the up and up.
