Foxconn potentially beneficial for local governments, says tax specialist Todd Berry.
To talk about Foxconn's impact on local control, we speak with Todd Berry from the Wisconsin Taxpayer Alliance. Berry states that Foxconn would not be exempt from property taxes, which could be a boon to property values if Foxconn is successful. "That windfall will fall to not only the municipality but the schools and the counties," he says.
