Didn’t Michigan win?

"total costs for taxpayers and ratepayers to build the manufacturing campus to $683 million… with more costs likely to come."

That doesn't sound like winning. The state spent a fortune up front on surrounding infrastructure that was needed before Foxconn could start operating, and they never started operating.
