Thats a good data point. So it cost the state at least $90 million.

I'm much more in favor of using these types of data points to determine cost, rather than the subsidy "cost".

There's also a loan out to Mt Pleasant for roughly $750 Million. Wisconsin tax payers have to pay that back whether or not Foxconn actually does anything. It's a sunk cost at this point. The bank's gonna want their money back. (Though I'm not totally clear where all that money went.)
