Foxconn Putting the Smackdown on the Democrats in Wisconsin

The Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, touted the Foxconn deal as a landmark deal for Wisconsin. 

Democrats have been against it from day one.  Talking about how it was much to do about nothing and that Wisconsin is going to lose.

Journal Sentinel:

“It’s clear,” said Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling of LaCrosse, that the “Foxconn gamble has become an albatross instead of the golden goose Gov. Walker thought it would be.” 

Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) complained that the Foxconn deal was the “result of a rushed process borne out of political expediency rather than sound economic development policy.”

“It appears Foxconn may break promises to Wisconsin before they even break ground in our state,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokeswoman Melanie Conklin.

People across the State complained.  Democrats were united against it except for the ones in the Racine and Kenosha area.

Democratic Candidates have targeted Foxconn in their run against Walker for re-election.  

Journal Sentinel:

“The governor does not know what he’s doing,” said Madison Mayor Paul Soglin. “I’d like to know what he was smoking when he negotiated this deal. In China they’re laughing at us.”

"Obviously, Scott Walker sold the farm on that issue," said state Schools Superintendent Tony Evers.

Rep. Dana Wachs, D-Eau Claire, in an interview earlier this month. "When they break this contract, we will find a way to end it."

In an interview late last year, Milwaukee attorney Matt Flynn said he will end the deal "no matter what," adding that he would enter litigation to break the contract if necessary.  

Yet in the face of all this nonsense from the Democrats Foxconn has went on to not only live up to what they have promised so far.  They have expanded on it to include most of the entire state of Wisconsin.  Putting additional facilities in Milwaukee, Green Bay and now newly announced Eau Claire. 

The Democrats with all of their talk of doing what they can against Foxconn if they win are now facing killing job making opportunities not just in South East Wisconsin, but now across the state.  Taking away opportunities from Students and the very people we are trying to keep and draw to the state. 

Foxconn is painting the Democrats into a corner and the Democrats are talking themselves right out of the election to become Governor.
