Republican leaders of the Wisconsin Legislature blame Governor Tony Evers for Foxconn’s decision to change the focus of its huge multi-billion dollar project. The Taiwan-based company said Wednesday it will move away from the production of L-C-D panels at its plant in southeastern Wisconsin — to make it more of a research hub. That could remove the potential for thousands of manufacturing jobs, but Foxconn says it is still going to hire 13-thousand people. Senator Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Rob Vos say the Democratic governor is bringing in a wave of economic uncertainty which has caused Foxconn to make the change.
