Gov. Scott Walker says he's going to do everything in his power to save a Kimberly-Clark factory and about 300 jobs after a tax incentive bill failed in the Legislature.
Gov. Scott Walker is hinting that there may still be a chance to save a Kimberly-Clark factory and about 300 jobs after a tax-incentive bill failed in the Legislature.
The Republican leader of the Wisconsin Senate says six or seven more votes are needed to approve a tax-incentive proposal designed to stop the consumer-products company Kimberly-Clark from closing a plant near Appleton.
Supporters of a $100 million incentive bill designed to keep open a Kimberly-Clark Corp. plant in northeastern Wisconsin argued Wednesday that taking no action would be devastating for the Appleton area and the entire state, though they remain short of the votes they need.
A $100 million tax-break bill designed to keep the paper-products giant Kimberly-Clark Corp. from closing an Appleton-area plant will get a public hearing in the Legislature, but its chances of being approved remains uncertain.
The Wisconsin Legislature plans to return the week after the November election for a lame-duck session to vote on a $100 million tax-incentive bill that would keep the paper-products maker Kimberly-Clark from closing a plant that employs about 500 people.
Gov. Scott Walker says he's "cautiously optimistic" about discussions on a tax-incentive deal intended to prevent the closing of a Kimberly-Clark plant in Fox Crossing.
