(34,661 posts)The Madison plant should have been replaced long time ago. That's why Kraft got such a deal,and you knew they were not going to spend any money on plant and new equipment. Just milk the tax code and then dump and run. Heard they got huge Tax Abatement's out of the Quad Cities. Plus they will go nonunion. So much for Walkers Wisconsin Works eh.

B..Public Corps.
