In August of 2017, we wrote an editorial headlined: “Legislature needs to fix Scott Walker's flawed Foxconn deal.” Noting former state Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller’s observation that “the governor has been suckered once again,” we argued, “Now, it falls to the Legislature to address the fundamental flaws in the deal Walker has cut with Foxconn. The power of the purse gives legislators the authority to check and balance Walker’s deal making, and they have a responsibility to do just that.” Instead of stepping up for sound economic development and fiscal responsibility, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Burlington, and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, lined up with Walker. They joined the governor in approving an arrangement that lacked meaningful guarantees and oversight. https://madison.com/ct/opinion/editorial/editorial-robin-vos-and-scott-fitzgerald-are-contemptible-liars/article_85f547ff-3324-5b35-83e2-5bc1b5e0aaad.html?fbclid=IwAR0yKE00CQWLKcJ5
