When the smoke was cleared some 100+ employees no longer had a job and it turned out that the leukemia rate in the area was actually found to be well below the national average.
The politician got re-elected. The workers lost their job. The company closed. It was all about someone writing a story that turned out to be just wrong.
As a side note, the company did reopen at some point, making a different product for the defense department. I always wondered if there was not some backdoor deal to serve as an apology.
