No surprise here: Pinnamaneni’s interview with economist Swenson reveals his view that the village is “betting the future of the town with money they don’t have, assuming technology that they don’t understand and benefits that are going to be distributed widely but not necessarily in their community. That’s a fool’s bet.” By contrast, in the interview with David DeGroot, the Village President offers a childlike exuberance for the deal, offering little understanding of the impact on residents or potential financial implications. Regarding his local delegation trip to Osaka, Japan, DeGroot says, “I’ve seen the future, and it’s coming to Mount Pleasant.” DeGroot describes the Japanese factory by saying, “It was big. It was massive. There’s, there’s robots that are absolutely ginormous.” https://urbanmilwaukee.com/pressrelease/podcast-shines-light-on-mount-pleasants-rush-to-win-foxconn-deal/
