Foxconn in Wisconsin Remains $Billion Ghost Ship with an Uncomprehending New Governor at the Helm

Updated - Madison, Wisconsin—Publication of a feature piece on the Foxconn catastrophe in The Capital Times has renewed questions about the passivity of Gov Tony Evers (D) and his refusal to research and commence a civil suit against Foxconn.

Defeated Gov Scott Walker (R) negotiated this lunacy, but Walker and Evers' policy on Foxconn is identical.

Telling in the piece by Lawrence Tabak is the description of Evers on hearing news that promised manufacturing jobs were not in Wisconsin's future. Evers released a bizarre statement that failed to address the news that 13,000 promised jobs had vanished.

Instead, Evers muttered words that related to Foxconn messaging.

Writes Tabak:

[Evers] cited Foxconn’s lack of transparency and consistency, and promised that 'we’ll continue to encourage it.' A touch of frustration came through when he added that there was 'no limit to the skepticism if the messaging isn’t consistent.'

So, even with 13,000 jobs at stake, Tony Evers offered reporters in late January an inane statement about encouraging clear messaging and promising to become skeptical in the absence of clear messaging.

Matt Flynn, a veteran litigator and frequent critic of Foxconn, is publicly pointing out the inadequacy of Walker and Evers' approach to the complex contract between Foxconn and Wisconsin.

why isn't the state suing to end the contract now for Foxconn's breach? Why should Wisconsin taxpayers foot the bill for billions in the budget going to Foxconn, when instead we could fund the @UWSystem and public education?

— Matt Flynn (@ForwardWFlynn) March 6, 2019

It's unclear if Evers is listening or even understands the Foxconn contract.

There is very little chance that Foxconn will build ANY plant in Wisconsin. But Racine and Mt. Pleasant are obligated to spend more than $900 MM on the project even if NO jobs result. Why? Why doesn't our State stop this immediately?https://t.co/D4D3jTr2ZQ

Wisconsin Job Growth Data Paint Bleak Picture of Scott Walker Years — 2011-2019

Defeated Gov Scott Walker (R) has not apologized
for Wisconsin's slow job growth during his tenure.

Madison, Wisconsin — Wisconsin lags far behind its neighbor and the rest of the country in recovering from the 2008-09 great recession, shows a graph authored by pollster Charles Franklin.

Slowed job growth during the Gov Scott Walker years (2011-2019) is striking when compared with Minnesota and the United States at large following enactment of controversial policies touted by Walker repeatedly as "bold reforms," the jobs data show.

Franklin used data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Total Gross Domestic Product for Wisconsin [WINGSP], retrieved from Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED), Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

The slow job growth during the Walker years will not come as a surprise for Wisconsinites who voted out Scott Walker as Gov Jobs Failure and ScottHoles became associated with his tenure.

Franklin first published his jobs growth data graph, below, on Dec. 30, 2018.

Several have asked for this comparison of job growth in Wisconsin, Minnesota and nationally. Jobs scaled to 1990-1-1 employment=100.

Foxconn Takings Take Toll on Wisconsin Families

Foxconn razes Wisconsin as pols and communities
go dark amid race for gov of corporate Wisconsin.

Foxconn and Scott Walker Raze the American Dream, as Tony Evers Remains Silent

Madison, Wisconsin — "You are taking people's homes from them. You are snatching their heart out," a homeowner said, objecting to Foxconn stealing their home, land, and family refuge for the benefit of the Taiwanese super-predator (Lemoine, Fox6-Now-Milwaukee).

In Gov. Scott Walker's (R) Wisconsin, your home and safe water no longer come first because you are not a Republican-approved special interest. It's the way it is now.

Not that Democratic Party nominee for governor, Tony Evers, is any better.

Tony Evers' silence—as families' homes and sense of security are ravaged—is deafening. This is why I call the man, Tony Mush.

Watching Wisconsin Die

My first major series in journalism covered the 1989-1990 project by the Houston-based Enron Co. that would have ravaged homeowners and small farm-owners by running a large natural-gas pipeline through their land, without consultation or approval.

The reaction against Enron by the local and state political world here was swift, almost brutal.

The story was a crash course on Dane County.

I quickly learned what manner of stuff is to be found in people named Wild, Sayles, Solie, Chvala, Wineke, Bauer, Garvey, Klassy, Feingold, Kohl, Anderson, Tesch, and far too many 100s to list. The significance of community in tiny Belleville and Paoli, Wisconsin, became apparent.

All manner of political persuasions, wildly divergent in world views, and loads of legal and political talent, delivered a full-spectrum message to Enron: Don't f$%&^ with our homes and our land.

The people won. The massive pipeline route was scrapped and moved along a safe(r) rail corridor.

---

That was then.

Today, homes and dreams are not safe and secure. A united front against rampaging corporate power is for days gone by.

What counts is corporate power, and both major political parties are not worth a damn when it comes to protecting homes and small businesses.

What is worth a damn is the reporting of Ricardo Torres and the staff at the Racine Journal-Times, as the daily beefs up coverage of those assaulted by Foxconn.

Torres covers the pumpkin farmers, the homeowners and those with dreams—little people in Racine County—standing alone against corporate power and supine politicians.

Who stands with these people today? Communities, politicians?

I have no idea and neither do they.

Wisconsin Gov Candidate, Tony Evers, Hit in The American Prospect on Foxconn

Scott Walker pro-Foxconn campaign ads are everywhere
in Wisconsin.

Update: More mush from Tony Evers on Foxconn: "It’s a lousy deal, and we’re going to have to hold Foxconn’s feet to the fire going forward."

Evers did not say he would undo or change the agreement with Foxconn if elected governor.

"We can, and we should, compel them to be good corporate citizens," Evers said, (Torres, Racine Journal-Times)

Madison, Wisconsin — Tony Evers, the Democratic Party nominee for governor, favors the most massive state give-away to a foreign corporation in United States history — Foxconn.

As policy, the Foxconn give-away of $billions in public monies is lunacy, jammed through the gerrymandered Republican legislature in August-Sept 2017 supported by lies.

Yet, in the Wisconsin political culture, the Democratic Party's Tony Evers' complicity in the Foxconn debacle is a truth that dare not be spoken outside independent progressive citizen-action movements.

A piece just out the The American Prospect by Lawrence Tabak offers a run-down on Foxconn in Wisconsin, including the fact the Tony Evers campaign refuses to support litigation against the Foxconn-Wisconsin contract.

Evers' deceitful campaign posture reads: "When I’m governor, we’ll hold Foxconn’s feet to the fire and make sure that Wisconsin is getting the best return on investment possible."

This is what passes for policy commitment on Foxconn from Tony Evers.

The American Prospect piece is implicitly critical of this mush. Writes Tabak:

The soft-spoken Evers may believe he can convince Wisconsin voters that Walker has misspent billions of taxpayer dollars to bring Foxconn to the state. But as of yet, he has not articulated exactly how he would go about modifying the signed contracts and the promised subsidies, nor is it clear that an onslaught of Walker ads touting the thousands of wonderful Foxconn jobs and concomitant statewide economic bounty will fail to sway. After all, which is easier to parse: 13,000 'family-supporting jobs' or 'just thinking' about what a few billion dollars could do if spent on education. (emphasis added)

Foxconn remains widely unpopular, especially in the northern two-thirds of the state where Tony Evers must outperform losing Democratic Party showings in 2010, 2014, and 2016.

Another truth about Tony Evers is that he is mediocre school bureaucrat from east-central (white) Wisconsin with a pedestrian understanding of public policy, ill-equipped to meaningfully oppose the Republican Party's wrecking ball Wisconsin has suffered the last seven years.

The same political groupthink and Democratic Party consultants who bequeathed Gov. Scott Walker (R) and Donald Trump onto Wisconsin is capable of thwarting what should be an easy win for an opponent of Walker in 2018 Wisconsin.

As has been written in these pages, those concerned about democracy in Wisconsin can take solace in the heavy political winds against Walker and Republicans this campaign cycle.

Rural women are especially appalled by Republicans, inform anecdotes from two central and northern Wisconsin political field operations from Democratic Party nominees for the legislature.

Can citizen action lift a milquetoast Tony Evers over Scott Walker?

Yes, it can; but a call to Tony Evers' campaign and a kick in his ass are called for as Foxconn's unpopularity mounts.

See Rick Romell's latest piece in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Thought Republicans were against the government forcefully taking someone’s property. Not when @ScottWalker wants to look good for the next election.https://t.co/5dEe9RDGhN

Scott Walker Goes Dark as Trump Threatens Harley Davidson, Escalates Trade War, and Engages in 'Harley Bashing'

Headlines like the one above lead Scott Walker to hide,
and Donald Trump to threaten Harley Davidson as Trump's
trade war escalates and victims multiply. Half-way through
Trump's second year, many Americans are "sick of winning."
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, June 26, 2018

Trump Warns Harley-Davidson: "beginning of the end" for Company

Gov. Scott Walker goes dark

- Analysis -

Updated - Madison, Wisconsin — Gov. Scott Walker's continuing silence on attacks against a venerable national institution, Harley-Davidson, located in Milwaukee is drawing howls from across the state.

From One Wisconsin Now:

"@ScottWalker is so afraid of getting a Trump rage tweet that he won’t even stand up for a Wisconsin business.” -- our @rossacrosswi on Walker's latest fecklessnesshttps://t.co/wsgIAN7oCI

— One Wisconsin Now (@onewisconsinnow) June 26, 2018

What's next? Trump attacks beer and children?

Donald Trump warned Harley-Davidson its move of divisions to Europe to off-set retaliatory tariffs from Europe means "the beginning of the end" for the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturing company.

It's a strange spectacle to hear an American president threaten and scold an American company like Harley-Davidson, after Trump's trade war with the European Union, Mexico and Canada provoked predictable reactions with new levies on "products from politically important states that supported Mr. Trump, like Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin," (NYT), (The Politico).

The impulsive Trump has manufactured a crises, started a trade war now escalating, and working families and venerable institutions are taking hits.

"Shares of Harley-Davidson fell nearly 6 percent in afternoon trading" yesterday, reports the NYT.

Gov. Scott Walker (R) has taken an unusual approach to communications with the Wisconsin people asking for answers about Harley: Avoidance.

Reports Scott Bauer from the Associated Press:

No comment yet from avid Harley rider @GovWalker in the face of these new full-throttled attacks from @realDonaldTrump against the iconic Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer.

Oh, and Trump is joining Walker on Thursday in Wisconsin for the groundbreaking of the Foxconn plant https://t.co/R7jhN5FNkh

— Scott Bauer (@sbauerAP) June 26, 2018

Scott Walker remains obsequious to Donald Trump, and when Trump screws over working families, in Scott Walker's mind, it's time to hide and be silent.

The AP reports:

Walker has avoided directly criticizing Trump on the issue, saying instead that no tariffs would be good for Wisconsin manufacturers and farmers.

The Harley bashing comes as Trump is scheduled to join Walker in Wisconsin on Thursday for the groundbreaking of a Foxconn Technology Group factory.

From the NYT:

The Wisconsin company said on Monday it would shift some production of its bikes overseas to avoid stiff retaliatory tariffs imposed by the European Union in response to Mr. Trump’s trade measures. The company said the move 'is not the company’s preference, but represents the only sustainable option to make its motorcycles accessible to customers in the E.U. and maintain a viable business in Europe.'

Mr. Trump’s trade war is beginning to ripple through the United States economy as companies struggle with a cascade of tariffs here and abroad. While Mr. Trump says his trade policy is aimed at reviving domestic manufacturing, Harley-Davidson’s move shows how the White House approach could backfire as American companies increasingly rely on overseas markets for materials, production and sales. 

Scott Walker is sitting out the Harley-Davidson issue out because he knows and cares even less than Trump about actual working families.

Meanwhile, Americans across the ideological spectrum would prefer Donald Trump to stop the trade war, bring the jobs home.
