Wisconsin Governor Walker immediately threw out the welcome mat to Illinois business, an announcement that didn’t get past the editorial writers at the Chicago Tribune:
“Those Illinois Democrats have, for two do-little years, dodged a choice: Reduce spending, raise taxes, or enact some mix of the two. Cutting overhead would offend their friends in the public employee unions and other pet constituencies. Ask retired state workers to pay something for their health care? Cap employee pensions? Perish the thought.
So — get this — not only are they raising taxes to avoid budget cuts, they're including a provision to let their spending continue to rise — year after year.
Find us an employer, or a potential employer, who doesn't awaken Wednesday thinking, ‘They spent and borrowed Illinois into penury, they refused to cut spending as I have, and now my workers and I are supposed to pay for all that?’"
Good stuff.
