This Time It's Illinois Fearing A Wisconsin Advantage

You keep hearing it loudly from GOP legislators and business groups that are attacking the Great Lakes Compact as a bad deal for Wisconsin:

'It gives Illinois advantages over Wisconsin. We can never compete against Big-Bad Illinois. We're doomed.'

But what's this? An Illinois source citing Wisconsin's advantages in a trend-setting environmental and business effort by WE Energies and others to build coal-fired power plants that clean the air by capturing carbon dioxide before it hits the atmosphere.

Oh, Illinois stop crying about it. You'll never be as good as we (WE?) are up here.

Or do businesses and politicians in neighboring states always whine about the perceived benefits across the border as a way leverage and win some more local advantages, too?
