Rep. Mitchell Continues Call For Exelon Legislation

Macon County State Representative Bill Mitchell is ready to go "nuclear" when he looks at the state's employment patterns. 
 
Rep. Mitchell is concerned with an August jobs report that shows the state lost 4400 manufacturing jobs in August, the worst month in that regard since 2009. He says the state shouldn't place it's immediate focus on trying to land new jobs. He wants lawmakers to save jobs connected directly and indirectly to the Clinton nuclear power plant, which is scheduled to close without proposed state incentives.
 
 
Exelon Corporation has announced it plans to close the DeWitt County facility by June 1st, 2017.
