Mary Burke, OOPS!!!

From the Journal Sentinel 7/9/2014:

Seven years after Mary Burke's state Commerce Department issued a $12.3 million award aimed at enticing Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories to expand in Wisconsin, federal officials declared the award improper and demanded their money back.

The deal, touted in 2006 as sure to attract at least 2,400 new jobs with the pharmaceutical giant, has yielded no jobs with the company, which has not developed a site the grant helped assemble.
