About 50 Testify At Foxconn Hearing

School and business leaders have joined state officials in supporting the state’s three-billion dollars of incentives for Foxconn. About 50 people testified Tuesday at a hearing in Sturtevant, close to where a ten-billion dollar L-C-D screen plant would go in Racine or Kenosha counties. State jobs agency director Mark Hogan says Foxconn would likely spend one-point-four billion with other Wisconsin firms on supplies. Administration Secretary Scott Neitzel (night zle) says the plant would be Foxconn’s most automated facility but it would still likely meet the target of 13-thousand jobs — and if it doesn’t, officials say they want to make the company forfeit tax dollars in accordance with the plant’s employment. Democrats again accused the G-O-P of ignoring protections for taxpayers but finance committee cochair Alberta Darling says there’s a “lot of upside,” and she expects a Senate vote the week of September eleventh.
