State revokes tax credits after W.W. Grainger cuts, outsources jobs

Noted: The foundation managed and funded by Grainger also has been a generous donor to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The business school building was named for Grainger after he and the Grainger Foundation together gave $10 million for its construction. And last year, the foundation made a $47 million gift to the UW-Madison engineering program from which David W. Grainger graduated.
