I thought Tyson was based in Arkansas, not Texas.

Just a Trivial Pursuit question!

I thought Tyson was based in Arkansas, not Texas.

Yes, the Tysons' operations are up in Arkinsaw. That's why I made that comment at post 48 about how few of Rick Perry's political friends are actually Texans -- including the King of Spain and his front company, CINTRA.

But when Kay Bailey Hutchison was granted an audience with a bunch of Texas billionaires in West Texas, to talk about possibly running for goobernor in 2006, I think Tyson was there, as was Bo Pilgrim, together with numerous representatives of the construction business, led by Trammell Crow (who died in 2009, I think). They told her they had good money invested in Perry -- this is a very, very close paraphrase -- and meant to get their money's worth out of him, and for her to get her butt back up to DC and be a good little senator.

"Tyson "

I've got some friends that work for Tyson in Chicken Plants.
Tyson's very bad about wanting mostly Illegal Immigrants to work for them, probably 70% or more.
They hire them as "contracts", and have let U.S. Citizens go just to hire more Illegals, so says my friend.
