The Price we pay for jobs in Wisconsin

Jobs we lose to other states with Wisconsin goverment red tape.

Last year,
there were 55 announcements of new manufacturing plants in Illinois;
there were 72 in Michigan,
35 in Minnesota,
and 34 in Iowa.
In Wisconsin, there was a grand total of five.

In 2005,
there were 75 announcements by companies that they were expanding their mannufacturing operations in Illinois;
180 expansions announced in Michigan,
36 in Minnesota,
and 64 in Iowa.
In Wisconsin? Six.

It actually gets worse. When announcements of other business investments and expansions are also included,
Illinois saw 510 announcements of business expansion;
Michigan 505;
Minnesota 176,
Iowa 135,
and Wisconsin…a mere 15.

When will the people of Wisconsin learn !!!!!!!!!
