Scott Walker (Credit: AP//J. Scott Applewhite) Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is desperate to gift billions of dollars in subsidies to Foxconn, one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers, in a bid to get them to build a factory in his state. Yet in his fervor to subsidize Foxconn, renowned for the harsh conditions under which their blue-collar employees work, Walker and other GOP lawmakers in his state may have broken the law. That’s according to a memo released by the Wisconsin Legislative Council, who found that “several provisions of the legislation for Foxconn Technology Group of Taiwan and its plant may be unconstitutional,” as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Walker signed a deal on Monday that approved up to $3 billion in subsidies for the flat-screen Taiwan-based manufacturing company that plans to build a factory in Racine County, Wisconsin.
