Evers Campaign Statement on Foxconn Tax

"This deal just keeps getting worse and worse."

By - Dec 13th, 2017 01:19 pm

“Today it was revealed that Wisconsin electrical customers are being asked to foot the bill for 40 years to build a new $140 million dollar facility to provide electricity for Foxconn. It wasn’t enough for Walker to give Foxconn a $3,000,000,000 sweetheart deal paid for by Wisconsin taxpayers. Now Foxconn wants Wisconsin ratepayers to cough up another $140 million from their own wallets. This deal just keeps getting worse and worse. Scott Walker should be ashamed of himself.”
