Cash Today Gone Tomorrow
In today’s Fond du Lac Reporter Governor Jim Doyle announced the Village of Lomira will receive a $300,000 Community Development Block Grant-Public Facilities for Economic Development grant to support expansion efforts of the Kondex Corporation. This expansion is expected to create 40 new jobs over the next three years.

While I welcome the new business to the area I could not help but do a little math. Forty jobs at $7,500.00 per job over three years.

Jim Doyle says he has created 170,000 new jobs in Wisconsin over the past three plus years. So did we spend 170,000 times $7,500 for a total of $1,275,000,000.00 for these 170,000 jobs. Just thinking.


What the Governor doesn’t say is how many people and jobs left Wisconsin because of the high taxes and bad business climate he has helped to create.
