The Governor recommends creating an Office of Marketing in the department to utilize the expertise of the department to provide centralized marketing services to all state agencies. To accomplish this, the Governor recommends transferring 1.0 FTE position from the Educational Communications Board, 4.0 FTE positions from the Department of Natural Resources, 2.0 FTE positions from the Department of Transportation and 1.0 FTE position from the Department of Workforce Development to staff the office. 
As a result of having a centralized marketing office, the Governor recommends eliminating 19.8 FTE positions, consisting of: 1.8 FTE positions in the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection; 0.5 FTE position in the Department of Safety and Professional Services; 3.0 FTE positions in the Department of Natural Resources; 6.5 FTE positions in the Department of Transportation; 
3.0 FTE positions in the Department of Corrections; 1.0 FTE position in the Department of Children and Families; 1.0 FTE position in the Department of Workforce Development; 1.0 FTE position in the Department of Revenue; 1.0 FTE position in the Department of Veterans Affairs; and 1.0 FTE position in the Department of Administration.

I think Governor Dayton said something about WI tourism marketing. He said a TV ad campaign for Wisconsin tourism as "one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen." I agree that the airplane ads are bad. I guess we will be watching more of them though.
