Author: So, yesterday Gov. Walker was all over the news, touting his ability to lure Illinois company owner Paul Stahlberg (and major Republican donor) to relocate his company a few miles North to Wisconsin.
Catalyst Exhibits currently has 85 employees and is located in Crystal Lake, Illinois. They were offered a $500,000 grant and $1.25 million low interest loans(which has a value of approximately $750,000) to relocate a few miles north to Wisconsin.
So, in other words, Gov. Walker bribed an Illinois company with only 85 employees $1.25 million to move to Wisconsin. And even though most, if not all, the current Illinois employees will continue to work at the new, Wisconsin location a few miles from the current location, Walker is saying this is “job creation.”
Rumor has it that Billy Bob’s Taco Stand in South Beloit, Illinois is being lured to move accross the street to Beloit, Wisconsin for a million!
