The big Foxconn plant that was going to save Wisconsin’s bacon and make then-Governor Walker (R-WI) a serious national political force continues to … shrink:
Taiwan electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drastically scaling back a planned $10 billion factory in Wisconsin, confirming its retreat from a project that former President Donald Trump once called “the eighth wonder of the world.”
Under a deal with the state of Wisconsin announced on Tuesday, Foxconn will reduce its planned investment to $672 million from $10 billion and cut the number of new jobs to 1,454 from 13,000.
This’ll continue to be a blight upon everyone involved. It’s quite possible Walker will never hold elective office again.
