Foxconn Technology Group has notified the state of Wisconsin that it objects to the state’s denial of job-creation tax credits.

The state economic development agency determined Foxconn only hired 281 full-time employees who are eligible to count toward tax credits at its facility in southeastern Wisconsin and made just $300 million in capital expenditures.
