Bailout fuels jobs probe over Henwood rescue
E J Henwood and Sons faced bankruptcy before a Saudi backed firm and Paramount stepped in to bail it out. The bailout drew state and federal probes into eligibility for 173400 in federal funds for a dislocated workers training program. Henwood laid off all staff last March and rehired them, with half the salaries paid by the federal program for 40 weeks.
