How 'bout now?

Apple supplier Foxconn says it will build big Wisconsin factory - Jul. 26, 2017

Is it still fake news if it confirms the OP?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Its okay... Theres plenty of other people still blind to the facts. That CNN is no more than a propaganda-biased-news station. The legacy media is a sinking ship and CNN is at the bow of it.

I guess all the liberals hate people in Wisconsin getting jobs- they are upset because these jobs weren't given to illegals in California!

I hope Foxconn winds up treating these employees like they treated them in China.

I always wonder how much money the government gives away when they manage to talk a company into expanding in a certain area.
Foxconn has been poking around Racine/ Kenosha since last summer.

( I live about 50 miles south of there)

Lots of two - cross state line commuting between far north Illinois and far south Wisconsin.

Property taxes in Racine are wicked crazy. State taxes in Wisconsin are higher than Illinois.

Governor Walker intends to pull together a $3 billion subsidy for them.
