Department of Public Health Deputy Director Sarah Reisetter said Friday that she didn’t believe the state needed to issue a closure order for the plant. Thompson, who visited the Waterloo plant last week and has spoken to members in the community, said he thought Tyson put production ahead of employee safety.
