    Vision Monday reported yesterday that Vision Ease was going to start manufacturing in Minnesota as a result of the fire. At least I think it was MN.

    If they had that plant here in the states they would have had OSHA safety programs in effect and sprinkler systems that may have prevented or controlled the fire? Maybe it's not always cheaper to outsource?
