Have any deals like this ever delivered on the actual jobs promised? Seems like every marquee deal that comes out like this inevitably slowly decreasing the actual investment and number of jobs until it's tiny and then the plant/company closes just before their tax breaks run out.


The true disaster here is Wisconsin's derelict education system which lead to the election of a city council incompetent at basic math and inebriated by the siren word "jobs".
