Wisconsin just rejected Foxconn's subsidies because it's not building the giant LCD factory in its contract. It also didn't employ nearly enough people. https://t.co/QKmcc8lfDe

Exclusive from @joshdzieza: Wisconsin has denied Foxconn's tax subsidy application, saying it hasn't built the promised Gen 10.5 LCD factory and it only employs 281 employees.

(You might recall Trump and Walker promised 13,000 jobs from this deal.) https://t.co/SipJhkaXdB
WEDC said that Foxconn employed 281 FTEs at the end of 2019, according to contract criteria. Mt Horeb school district employed 305.5 FTEs in the 2018-19 school year. https://t.co/gXqO2vLkaJ

What is unusual:the state is trying to enforce the original contract. Often, state/local areas still provide subsidies even if firms fail to meet the terms of the contract. If econ dev incentive contracts are to have meaning, they must be enforced: https://t.co/byUUmRwy6A

Trump praised the Foxconn deal in 2018. Now, Wisconsin just denied Foxconn tax subsidies because it's not building what it promised, it failed to hire enough people, and it has refused to revise its contract. https://t.co/OmoGwEqBqP

No surprise here. Republicans lied about the scope of the project. https://t.co/j5L0ovJjIT
And if you're such a great businessman, why did Wisconsin waste so much money on subsidies to Foxconn for fewer jobs than in the Mt Horeb school district? https://t.co/bhO6CMmQZ9
— Andy O (@Andy_Olsen) October 13, 2020
The nice thing about strongly worded contracts and clawbacks means Foxconn, whose claims of 13,000 new jobs were always, uh, unrealistic (@GregLeRoy4 called them "laughable"), doesn't get taxpayer gifts just yet. https://t.co/0MLh5KGFMO
