One of my reasons was the very good schools, roads, government here in my home state. I have traveled widely over the years and, despite our taxes, we enjoy many public amenities not found in most other states. I would prefer to pay a six-cent sales tax rather than seriously handicapping our schools, local governments, road-building programs, etc. However, I also recognize the great need to stimulate greater economic growth in Wisconsin. The JOBZ plan described in the article makes a lot of sense to me!!! Especially in the Milwaukee area, which desperately needs more and better jobs for so many!
