Senator attacks ConAgra layoffs over CEBA grant raid
Iowa Senator Michael Gronstal blasted ConAgra after 300 jobs were cut at the Blue Star Foods plant in Council Bluffs and called for repayment of the $150,000 CEBA grant and $125,000 forgivable loan. He argued the ownership change does not void the contract which requires five years of job retention in Iowa, while ConAgra said no contract violation is proven and may expand remaining frozen food production.
