It's not just eminent domain abuse, either... part of the Foxconn deal was set to bypass the Great Lakes Water Resources Compact and use water from Lake Michigan for LCD manufacturing. The City of Racine basically argued that they could take the water for "public use" because they were allowed to do so (cities source drinking water from the lakes) and give up to 7 million gallons a day to Foxconn via a pipe. Wisconsin environmental oversight signed off on this, but the plant hasn't happened so it hasn't been tested in court. Hopefully the Compact will be strengthened to prevent potential abuses like this in the future.
