It was way back on July 9th that Mary Burke made this
statement about WEDC funding companies that outsourced jobs overseas:
Burke calls that practice "appalling". "As Governor, I will insist that every WEDC award protects against the outsourcing of Wisconsin jobs and companies that don't live up to their end of the deal give back every tax dollar they received," said Burke in a statement released to 27 News.
