Foxconn's founder and chairman Terry Gou is stepping down from the company's daily operations.
This comes just months after Scott Walker, his main Wisconsin partner, was booted by voters from the Governor's office, and just a few days yet another state poll said Wisconsinites continue to doubt the wisdom Walker helping shovel billions in public subsidies Foxconn's way.
If the Foxconn project in Mt. Pleasant were the sure thing Walker and Gou had pledged, does it make sense for Gou to take a big sideways step now and open up the possibility that the younger managers he wants to empower will be less invested in Gou's interest in investing in Wisconsin?
This leaves only Gou's pal Donald Trump among the Wisconsin project's prime movers to try and make the Walker-Gou dream factory a reality.

If things tend to take places in 3's, who's going to ramrod the project when voters show Trump the door: Robin Vos? He doesn't have the juice.
