Dem guv candidates knock Foxconn deal, pledge to cut prison population during first televised debate
Dem candidates for governor, meeting Thursday for the first time in a televised debate ahead of next month’s primary, slammed the state’s incentive package for Foxconn and pledged to reduce the Wisconsin’s prison population.
They also prodded each other on women’s rights and one even asked a rival his favorite beer.
The eight candidates took a few shots at each other in the debate, but largely avoided any serious blows.
The moderators asked the candidates several yes or no questions, including whether they would seek to kill the state’s $3.5 billion state package for Foxconn, which is building a plant in Racine County to build LCD panels. Only state Superintendent Tony Evers and attorney Josh Pade didn’t raise their hands to indicate their support for nixing the deal.
