Walker’s Foxconn Deal ‘Certainly Didn’t Help’ His Lost Re-Election Bid, Says Fortune 

It “certainly didn’t help” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) unsuccessful bid for a third term that he signed a “cocktail napkin agreement” for Foxconn to build a $10 billion LCD display fab in the state, reported the Fortune Data Sheet Wednesday. Voter enthusiasm for the Foxconn project “turned to indignation as public expenses required to support the plant ballooned -- and Foxconn’s ambitions seemed to shrivel,” it said. Scott’s defeat to Democrat Tony Evers Tuesday by 31,000 votes “highlights the peril of playing the China card,” it said.
