CHIPPEWA FALLS - It would be a shame if the Wisconsin Main Street Program lost funding as part of Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to replace the Department of Commerce with a public-private hybrid, said Jim Schuh, a spokesman for Wisconsin Main Street Alliance, a nonprofit lobbying group.
'It seems contradictory to the governor's statement about Wisconsin being open for business,' Schuh said. 'It would be a terrible thing for the state (to cut), because the program has been so successful.'"
Sounds like a good idea to me. Dump the program. The state of Wisconsin is what 3 Billion in the hole, get rid of this city and town welfare program.
So a non profit lobbyist says it's a good thing? Where has tax payers money given to these cities for Main Street programs worked in Wisconsin? I remember a couple years back Gillett received piles of money to upgrade it's town. Money was spent for limo rides, flower pots holders and more and what business moved to Gillett? Do get me wrong, I like the area of Gillett, My two sons graduated from the HS but even the people of Gillettt would have to admit, the program did nothing for the area.
The do-gooder's that think they are experts on bringing business to their cities and towns have no clue about economic growth. Most not all Main Street programs , let me put it this way, too many people were caught with their hand in the cookie jar and the tax payers flipped the bill. Main Street Program would buy the cookie jar and there were no cookies left to sell.
Dump the welfare Main Street Program.
