Did this analysis include the potential costs of poisoning water supplies? I'm gonna say, nah.

Let me get this straight...the best case scenario is the $3B subsidy will have 25-year ROI. That $3B giveaway is already foolish, but then it's the result of "tremendous" deal-making by Republican leadership. They will tout jobs, jobs, jobs for the next election cycle. Once the election is over and construction is done, the locals will find out it's an automated plant with nowhere near the jobs that were advertised.

Let's just hope this doesn't become a future Superfund site when this company decides it's pulling out of WI.
