MADISON -.......................................
After spending months touting the up to 13,000 jobs at the proposed plant, the GOP governor didn't mention Foxconn at his 2018 re-election kickoff on Sunday. He kept his distance again on Monday when conservative talk radio host Jerry Bader asked Walker about Sunday's omission.
.............Scot Ross, head of the liberal group One Wisconsin Now, noted Walker regularly gets polls of his own.
"If hes not mentioning Foxconn, its because his internal polling is even less favorable," Ross said.
State GOP spokesman Alec Zimmerman scoffed at that. Democrats were foolish to celebrate just because Walker was "talking about the many employers creating jobs as opposed to just Foxconn," he said.
Walker did tell Bader that the Foxconn deal would be approved when the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. board takes it up on Wednesday after postponing a vote on Oct. 17.
