Blue Island Mayor Don Peloquin says in this company's case, workman's comp differences alone will save several hundred thousand dollars a year.

"They're looking at dollars. If it costs this much here under the workers comp law, when they go to Indiana, they drop it by 30 or 40 percent. They save that much money," Peloquin said. "There's very little a local mayor can do."
