When the leader of the state wants increased use of fossil fuels and less efforts to limit pollution and discourages growth in break through environmentally friendly energy industries that are making startup strides in the Midwest and other areas of the country it is no wonder that Wisconsin is trending backwards in economic, environmental, educational and industrial growth. This is the Walker no growth austerity plan that is causing more people to leave the state than to enter and has resulted in Wisconsin becoming a low wage, low opportunity state that is stagnating and experiencing negative economic performance. The 2016 legislative elections allow the hope for change if Wisconsinites declare that they have had enough of 6 years of failed policies!
