> The LCD screens being made by Foxconn require benzene, chromium, cadmium, mercury, zinc, and copper ... The Walker administration had also exempted Foxconn from the state’s usual environmental rules, allowing it to discharge materials into wetlands...

WTF? Wisconsin is a beautiful state with rich wetlands and farmland. Letting a Taiwanese* company fuck that up for 13,000 jobs that will never pay back the incentives makes no sense, other than a small tick on Walker's re-election campaign resume which he is now shying away from anyway. This project needs to be cleaned up or killed before it starts to literally kill people in Wisconsin.
