Some Democrats pledge to break Foxconn contract as Wisconsin governor

Among the vast field of Democrats seeking to unseat Republican Gov. Scott Walker in November, there is much agreement. But on the issue of the state's contract with Foxconn, some daylight is beginning to emerge between candidates.

"To be quite frank, it is highly unlikely that Foxconn will adhere to this contract. It’s possible but it’s unlikely. We’re going to monitor that contract very closely. If they breach it we are going to sue them," said state Rep. Dana Wachs, D-Eau Claire, in an interview earlier this month. "When they break this contract, we will find a way to end it."

Wachs is one of only a few Democrats in the field to suggest the state would find a way out of the contract if elected governor — but none of them are singing its praises.

The state representative called it "the worst economic deal that has ever happened in our state."
