Walker: Wisconsin Economy Is “On Fire” Thanks To Illinois

Governor Scott Walker says Wisconsin’s economy is “on fire” thanks to Illinois, after that state raised taxes and moved jobs to its neighbors. In a campaign ad, Illinois Republican Governor Bruce Rauner had Walker, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, and Missouri Governor Eric Greitens (gry’tens) thank Illinois Democratic House Speaker Mike Madigan for raising its state income taxes from three-and-three-quarter percent to almost five-percent. Holcomb says his state is growing union jobs faster than Illinois. Walker looked in the camera and told Speaker Madigan, “We owe you … Cheeseheads love you.”
