Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers sits for an interview with The Associated Press Thursday, Dec. 19, 2019, saying that Foxconn Technology Group, the world's largest electronics manufacturer, could still qualify for up to $3 billion in state tax credits in Wisconsin if it makes changes to its deal with the state to reflect current plans for a plant that's under construction. Evers said Thursday. 'If we have a deal that is reflective of what they are doing, it's logical that they will get the credits,' 'But if they don't, that's a whole different deal.'

A new audit says Wisconsin's economic development agency needs to modify procedures to ensure tax credits aren't awarded for Foxconn Technology Group employees who don't do work in the state. The nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau released its findings Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2019, and it's the second year that the audit has identified this problem.
