Gov Candidate Tony Evers Remains Silent on Foxconn Contract

Updated - Madison, Wisconsin — Weeks from the absentee voting start in the Wisconsin mid-term General Election, is this the year we dump Gov. Scott Walker (R)?

Not if the Democratic Party nominee for governor, Tony Evers, gets his way.

Evers is avoiding questions about major policy more assiduously than Scott Walker dodges questions about Walker's historic cuts to education and health care.

This campaign season, instead of policy discussion, Wisconsin voters are treated to a non-stop smorgasbord of what Evers ate at McDonald's.

This steady diet of fluff from Evers includes no mention of the most massive corporate give-away in U.S. history — Foxconn, specifically the question of Evers litigating the Foxconn-Wisconsin contract in federal court.

The Foxconn-Wisconsin 29-page contract remained secret until after the deal was signed by Walker's administration and the Foxconn chair, WKOW reported last year.

Evers in his weaselly manner becoming common now-a-days retains his position amounting to Foxconn stays, Wisconsin bleeds, a position Evers is trying to keep secret.

Evers has not mentioned Foxconn since the Aug 14 Primary Election, going completely dark on a major issue on which Scott Walker continues to campaign.

Evers' past comments include a vague promise to try to convince Foxconn to give up its $ billion subsidies, its guarantees to flaunt local and state law on water protections, among other negotiated perks given to Foxconn in the contract approved November 2017, and enabling legislation.

Mal Contends will continue its effort to get an answer from Evers on opposing the Foxconn contract.

With each day that Tony Evers refuses questions on Foxconn comes new evidence the Foxconn scam is bi-partisan.
