Competing Tax Plans, A New Lame-Duck Lawsuit, And A Whole Lot Of Foxconn News
It’s been a busy week in state politics. Democratic Governor Tony Evers and Republican leaders in the state legislature have each introduced a separate plan for middle class tax-relief.

And we get an update on the latest Foxconn news.
