This week, Foxconn reached a new agreement with the state and Governor Evers that will allow the project to begin collecting tax incentives.

I’m glad that Foxconn remains dedicated to Racine County and continues to honor its local agreements. Foxconn’s willingness to come to the table and negotiate reflecting the evolution of the global marketplace shows its good intentions.
 
It’s a shame that it had to come to this. Foxconn didn’t create the pandemic, or the hostile intentions of the Evers Administration towards the project. Big screen TVs were never the end-all-be-all of this project, even if it was the crutch the Administration used to blow up the original pay-as-you-go agreement. In spite of these obstacles, Foxconn is maintaining its commitment to Racine County and Wisconsin.
 
At least 1,400 jobs and over a billion dollars of investment is coming to Mount Pleasant in the next few years. Foxconn is still a catalyst bringing other businesses to the area. Under any definition, that is something to be excited about and look forward to.

On Monday, April 19th, Representative Robert Wittke and I, held an in-district listening session where we had the opportunity to hear from folks in Caledonia. Below are upcoming Budget Listing Sessions. I hope to see you there!

On Monday, I also participated in the annual Burlington Chamber of Commerce Legislative Breakfast with Representatives Samantha Kerkman and Robin Vos. It's always an informative discussion about what is happening in and around the Burlington area, as well as how pending legislation is affecting local businesses.
