Ken Notes: I trust George, but I do get nervous when any community tries to develop public commercial space. I hope an RFP for this section is developed once this is in city control. Do I get any credit for suggesting this could best be resolved in the board room???? |

| Foxconn deal drives a wedge between parties at Legislative Candidate Forum |
Ken Notes: I am Switzerland here BUT, candidates need to stop saying what they would do with the Foxconn money -- because without Foxconn there is no money to spend and with Foxconn the money is given back to them in incentives.
I wish the candidates would address incentives available to ALL Wisconsin companies that are growing in the state.
Attn: PRESS ask candidates what incentives are available to small companies adding new workers and how do these companies get them. Record the answers!!! |
