@DanShaferMBJ This is shameful. And unfortunately will just serve to perpetuate the economic segregation of a large portion of the city of MKE workforce.

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

DOA Secretary Scott Neitzel said the MOU with #Foxconn stipulates that the deal has to be done by Sept. 30. That's the reason for fast track

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

@BeerMilwNick He was mostly joking

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

Neitzel would not commit to any mass transit dollars in #Foxconn deal, mentioned the >$250M for the I-94 Corridor.

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

Eve Hall: Public transit "has to be part of the total package" if #Foxconn will have diverse workforce, is serious about meeting needs.

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

.@MarkKassMBJ asked about why #Foxconn's Pennsylvania deal fell apart
Neitzel: "The administration wanted to change the deal that they had."

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

Barry said what's along highway in Racine/Kenosha is a bit "embarrassing" with fireworks, adult bookstores. Says Foxconn will improve that.

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

Hall says 72% of African Americans in Wisconsin are in Milwaukee area. She sees people every day at who want to find jobs, advance careers.

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

Neitzel: "That is just not going to happen."

[Dan Shafer @DanShaferMBJ]

Martin said MATC's "M-Cubed" partnership with MPS and UWM has 140,000 students involved. #Foxconn seen as way to engage ppl in STEM careers.
