Ainsworth Lays off 110

The Bemidji Ainsworth plant (formally Potlatch) closed one of the two production lines at the plant and layed off 110 people. These were high paying jobs for Bemidji. My neighbor Joel (the fish fry guy) was allowed to keep his job. Think about the impact that 110 good paying jobs in a small community like Bemidji.
