Mike Ivey On Branding The State, And Another Suggestion Here

Mike Ivey at The Madison Capital Times notes that legislators at the Capitol are rebranding the state with a message to the world that we are either the ashtray of the Midwest, or the state that doesn't care about the Great Lakes.

I see a contest brewing.

My suggestion, inspired by what seems to have been our higher-esteem past, and the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce's endless negativity about the state:

"Wisconsin. You Won't Like It Here."

That pales in comparison to Kathleen Falk's,
“We are not normal,” she said. “No state is worse than we are.”

To be fair, Jim, Falk was discussing Wisconsin's troubles with drinking, and the data bears her out.
