As part of a post on another thread, I wrote something I thought significant enough on its own to deserve a separate thread. Here it is, edited a bit to better fit this context.

Wisconsinites need only look across the state's southern border to understand why electing, and now twice reelecting,** Scott Walker as governor was the best thing they could have done for their state. I partly wish he had won his bid for the presidency. On the other hand, I'm so happy he's still here in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin's prior governor, Jim Doyle, was very anti-business and his taxing and spending had Wisconsin going the way of Illinois. Even after ill-advisedly and in one case illegally raiding other funds to try to balance his budget,* Doyle left Scott Walker with a >$3 billion deficit when Walker became governor. By various business and citizen friendly policies, Walker turned the state around. He not only balanced the budget every year, he produced a surplus, all while lowering taxes. When Doyle was Governor, our schools had to lay off teachers because they were so poorly funded. Under Walker, teacher hiring is up, as is school funding. Businesses were fleeing Wisconsin under Doyle, they are flocking here under Walker.

I have heard there is also a lot of new investment in Kenosha County.

O, gosh yes, featuring, but certainly not limited to, two (count`em, TWO!) huge Amazon distribution warehouses.
Now, to be honest, we can't give Scott Walker all the credit for this. What the Democrats have done to the business climate in Illinois has a lot to do with why Kenosha County, which is the Wisconsin county closest to Chicago, is booming. On the other hand, had Jim Doyle remained as governor, as I explained above, Wisconsin would have probably become the economic basket case the Democrats have made Illinois.
