Mount Pleasant's Political Turmoil Amid Foxconn and Microsoft Deals.

The village of Mount Pleasant in Wisconsin is experiencing a bitter political battle as four residents challenge the village president and three trustees on the village board in the upcoming election. The challengers are seeking to take control of the board and move on from Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which has failed to deliver on its promises to invest $10 billion and create 10,000 jobs in the area. The incumbents argue that the village's partnership with Foxconn outweighs the cons and that tax revenues from the company have been critical in improving basic services for residents. The outcome of the election could determine the future of outside investments in the community.
