The State of Politics

Walker bringing real jobs to WI. Of course it is at tax them til they are dead IL's expense! My bet is those 100+ people who will not be accepting new jobs are going to be thrilled, along with the entire community! This is only the start!

Just over two months ago Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker encouraged Illinois businesses to escape from Illinois after lawmakers — earlier that day in an overnight session in Springfield — approved a 67 percent income tax increase and a 46 percent increase in corporate taxes.

Governor Walker said the tax news from Illinois, will make Wisconsin an enticing place to do business. He specifically targeted companies in Illinois on “Your World w/ Neil Cavuto” on Fox News, which was Governor Walker’s first television interview since his inauguration, the Republican governor jubilantly pulled out an old Wisconsin advertising campaign bumper sticker that targeted Illinois with an “Escape to Wisconsin” slogan. Walker says he is renewing that old call to vacationers for Illinois businesses.

Flash forward to today …

Governor Scott Walker announced Thursday that Catalyst Exhibits, Inc., a maker of large-scale exhibits at major trade shows, will be moving from Crystal Lake, Illinois, to Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. Catalyst Exhibits, Inc. also has offices in Amsterdam and Shanghai serving an impressive client list including Abbott, AstraZeneca, Belkin, BioRad, Carestream, Chicago Faucets, Nanosphere, Nokia, Siemens, St. Jude Medical, TiVo, Zimmer, Ziosoft, Zogenix and more.
