Wisconsin is on the Verge of a Jobs Explosion
Submitted by nathan.conrad on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 3:10pm
In the 16 short months that Governor Walker has been behind the desk of our state’s highest elected office, we have eliminated that deficit, saved over a billion dollars of taxpayer money and put an end to the rampant job loss caused by the poor fiscal management of the past.
Recently, a survey conducted by ChiefExecutive.net shows that the forward thinking reforms that have been put in place under Governor Walker are moving our state in the right direction. The survey, which can be seen here, shows that in 2010 Wisconsin was ranked 41st in the nation in places to do business and, in the time since, we have moved 21 slots up on that list after Governor Walker took office.
Governor Walker’s bold reforms have been highlighted even further by the editors of that site to show that, as a state, we are poised to see a jobs explosion when Governor Walker retains his office after this baseless recall is over. Take a look at the nation’s CEO’s vision for Wisconsin’s future with Governor Walker at the helm here.
While we continue to climb the ranks of best places to do business as a state, one alarming and concerning tidbit of information comes to light: We are being held back from further growth due to the impetuous disregard for business being forwarded by the failed leadership of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
According to Forbes, in their most recent ranking of best and worst cities to do business, which can be seen here, we see that Milwaukee has tumbled 31 spots in the rankings over the last year. Under Mayor Barrett’s watch, and because of the constant hunger to feed the spending beast that resides within him, Milwaukee has one of the worst outlooks for business in the nation. To put if frankly, no one wants to build and grow business in an area where burdensome taxation and irresponsible and overzealous regulation takes precedence over job creation.
Job creators are shunning the failed mayor’s city due to his inability to manage correctly and his total lack of a plan on any issue.
Governor Walker on the other hand is doing any and everything possible to attract business and help the struggling community thrive, even though their mayor seems more interested in running a third race for governor in a baseless recall rather than help his own constituents.
Governor Walker recently unveiled an initiative called Transform Milwaukee which will seek to help the tormented city get back on its feet again. The program is investing $100 million dollars into the beleaguered city to bring back jobs and opportunity lost during the tenure of Mayor Barrett’s failed leadership.
The initiative will provide $56 million in loans and venture funding for small businesses and industrial development to the city, which in turn is expected to create more than 2,000 new construction jobs.
Mayor Barrett’s inability to show true leadership in times of adversity has proven he is bad for Milwaukee, but would be worse for Wisconsin.
Governor Walker, on the other hand, has stood by his word and laid the solid foundation for a bright future for our state through his innovative and bold reforms agenda. Once this recall has been put to rest and Governor Walker’s plans can continue to move forward, the jobs explosion that will result will usher in a time of growth not seen in Wisconsin in generations.
