WMC launches contest to distract from Walker's job fail
[Updated] The Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce is a leading financial and public relations promoter of GOP Governor Scott Walker, so how embarrassing is it that Walker's big promise to create 250,000 new private-sector jobs by January, 2015 had been a high-profile failure - - and after 5.5 years in office, he's only 67% there - - while the state consistently registers low on indices as varied as business startups - - dead last - - to the condition of the roads - - 47th nationally.
Another recent survey showed investment capital fell 40% from last year.
Basically things are not cool here.
So what's the WMC's answer?
Looks to me like some fun and games, such as a contest to find the coolest thing made in Wisconsin!!
How about Hypocrisy, as the tone-deaf contest planners are offering up a Trek bike as a Coolest Thing possibility -
But back to fun and games.
Reminds me of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Secretary, business-devotee and party planner Cathy Stepp's all-agency Halloween party to distract from her boss's Act 10's worker hostility and her own special, public contempt for the people she eventually would manage.
What's next?
We can't have a contest for the Coolest Thing Wisconsin Deliberately Threw Away, as that award in perpetuity goes to Walker and the Federally-financed train between Madison and Milwaukee he successfully blocked.
Ditto for fully-funded, complete medical coverage for low-income citizens, also thrown away so Walker could make the same anti-Obama, anti-federal policy argument he 'ade' with the Amtrak funding FUBAR.
So, instead, how about:
* A WisDOT contest to find the state's deepest pothole, since our roads rank fourth worst nationally?
* A DNR contest for most minimal fine for overspreading human waste near residential wells?
* Or another DNR contest for slushiest, no-citation industrial-scale feedlot runoff? One recent possibility - - showing manure after a heavy rain that had been trucked into Portage County from a Juneau County CAFO - - below.

A Trek bicycle, a Marquis yacht, an Oshkosh Defense tactical vehicle, a Kohler bathroom fixture — the possibilities for nominations are endless, WMC said in its news release.- even though the Walkerites dumped on 2014 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, attacked and denigrated her service to the firm and took existing footage touting Trek out of a WEDC video promoting Wisconsin.
