Wisconsin Resident Wants Foxconn Referendum

Madison, Wisconsin — A Ridgeway, Wisconsin resident is speaking for many in demanding consent and due diligence on the largest swindle in Wisconsin history, a $3 billion give-away to Foxconn.

Republicans led by Donald Trump, Gov. Scott Walker and Rep. Paul Ryan, (R-Janesville, Wisconsin), say an unprecedented bill must be passed by the state legislature by Sept 30, or Wisconsin misses out.

From a letter from the Wisconsin State Journal:

As a lifelong resident of the once great state of Wisconsin, I would like to have the Foxconn deal put on the ballot as a referendum to the people of this state.

It is our billions of dollars, and we should have the right to decide how we would like that money spent. The referendum should be simple and clearly stated to give the taxpayers and voters the choice.

Penny Koerner, Ridgeway

Wisconsin Republicans know an advisory referendum on the proposed $3 billion give-away would face overwhelming defeat at the polls. So, the chance of a Foxconn referendum coming from the gerrymandered legislature is nil
