Scott Walker’s Wisconsin ranks dead last in business start-up activity

Written by Louis Weisberg, Staff writer

Wisconsin ranks last of all the states for new business start-up activity, according to a major survey released June 5.

Milwaukee fared little better, coming in 39th among the nation’s 40 largest metropolitan areas.

The Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship is the first and largest study tracking entrepreneurship across city, state and national levels for the United States. Produced by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the index is one of the world’s most respected and cited entrepreneurship indicators in the nation.

This year’s new, expanded index measures such entrepreneurial activity as new companies and company growth rates.

In last year’s index, Wisconsin ranked 45 — five states higher than in 2015.

or criminal charges if anyone can prove theft, bribery, or whatever...

What I do not understand is that with things going to shit in such a hurry, what is wrong with Wisconsinites that they seem to go along with it?

Walker and his boys were toying with the idea of changing the law for Recall elections so that it was limited strictly to CRIMINAL charges and not "the will of the voters"
