The Apple Inc supplier’s plans for the Mount Pleasant factory are now unclear, the letter from The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation said. But for many the factory has become a symbol of failed promises in Midwestern states like Wisconsin that were key to Trump’s 2016 election and are now closely watched swing states in the Republican’s bid to be re-elected on Nov. 3.

Foxconn said in a statement it employed more than the minimum 520 full-time workers by the end of the year to get the credit.

So, the company who wants a tax break says they did meet the requirements, the state who would lose out on a lot of tax money otherwise says they didnt.... It seems like everyone is eager to trust the government on this one....
