Wisconsin governor Tony Evers said Wednesday that he intends to renegotiate the terms of the state’s deal with electronics manufacturer Foxconn, which promised to build a $10 billion LCD screen manufacturing plant in the small Wisconsin town of Mount Pleasant in 2017.

“The present contract deals with a situation that no longer exists, so it’s our goal to make sure that the taxpayers are protected and environmental standards are protected,” Evers told reporters in his office, according to the New York Times. “We believe we need to take a look at that contract and see if it needs to be downsized as a result.”
