Tony Evers said Wednesday that he wants to renegotiate Wisconsins nearly 3 billion contract with Foxconn Technology Group, saying its unrealistic to think the company will employ 13,000 people as originally promised. President Donald Trump has touted the Foxconn project in Wisconsin as a sign of the return of manufacturing to the United States. A Foxconn representative had no immediate comment, but the possibility of rewriting the contract drew criticism from the Republican leader of the Wisconsin state Senate. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he was concerned Evers would try to undermine the states contract with Foxconn, but he said the deal was ironclad. Evers also said he didnt think the Wisconsin project would be affected by Foxconn chairman and CEO Terry Gous decision to of Taiwan.
