Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says critics of the state’s proposed $3 billion deal to land a $10 billion Foxconn manufacturing plant should rest easy. Walker says Taiwan-based Foxconn will only get the money if it fulfills its promise to build the plant and hire up to 13,000 workers. Walker says the incentives will go down proportionately if Foxconn spends or hires less than promised. Some Democratic critics have questioned the cost of the incentives and pointed to Foxconn’s history of making big promises on investment only to not follow through. The Wisconsin Legislature must approve the deal in a special session expected in August. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Foxconn had chosen Wisconsin to build its first U.S. plant to manufacture display screens.

The U.S. State Department is warning tourists going to Mexico about reports of tainted or substandard alcohol causing drinkers to become sick or pass out. Reports have come out that travelers got sick after drinking alcohol at Mexican resorts. In January, a 20-year-old Wisconsin woman vacationing in Mexico with her family died after she was pulled from a resort pool. The State Department added the warning to its travel site for Mexico on Wednesday. The warning advises tourists to drink in moderation and to stop and seek medical attention if they begin to feel ill. A State Department spokeswoman says U.S. citizens also should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate in Mexico if that happens.
