Pardon my ignorance, but why would a private firm wait until the tinpot leftists are elected to announce layoffs?

Hedging bets. Most of its contracts are government contracts. They saw the ignorance of the Taxachusetts voters. They need a friend in government especially one that owes them a favor.

Raytheon got some tax breaks a few years ago by the state. Also received some grants and highway funds.

There was talk of ending the tax breaks if Raytheon held layoffs a few years ago. They probably made a deal with Deval to hold off the announcement if the state promised to not raise their taxes.
