The company is in ongoing discussions about moving to Arizona, which Saltz said, "makes a lot of sense from a labor-cost standpoint."

A lot of irony here. I remember S&Ws employees being pleased about the buyout, in fact I think one even posted about giving the company another chance for the sake of the employees. Guess they lose their jobs anyway.

Does anyone know the status to their government agreement?

They HAVE NOT renounced the agreement with the Clintons. S&W can move to the moon.

It was my understanding that the agreement with the federal govenment died with the clinton administration. Smith and Wesson still is being sued by various counties and cities. I think all the suits have been thrown out of court with the exception of Chicago.

The CEO who made the deal was thrown out of his job, the company sold for the same amount that they made last year and you people are still angry at the employees as if they loved the idea of being sued by the Federal Government.

That makes a lot of sense. < sarcasm >

I really don't think that the Massachusetts State Government will do anything to keep the jobs intact within the State...
