By U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald - Apr 17th, 2019 02:37 pm

[Madison, WI] — Following the governor’s announcement that he plans to reopen the state’s contract with Foxconn, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald released the following statement:

“This completes the original narrative that the governor has wanted to undermine the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation from day one. If the state is willing to renege on its commitment to Foxconn and open up a contract without agreement by both parties, then what guarantee can Wisconsin make to any other company that wants to expand here?”

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) represents the 13^th Senate District, which covers portions of Dodge, Jefferson, Waukesha, Washington, Dane, and Columbia counties.
