Wisconsin Business Council is Launched

Link to Wausau Daily Herald article, "Wisconsin Business Council leaders say new group has no political affiliation".

Excerpt: The Wisconsin Business Council launched this week as a pro-business, pro-employment organization that views a strong economy as critical to quality of life in the state.

"Seven, eight, nine months ago, the world changed for everybody, with a new sense for how life is wrapped into the economy," said James Wood, founder of Wood Communications Group, which is helping the council spread its message. "This is a different world, and we need to look at the issues we've continued to look at in a different way."

The council plans to take a collaborative approach to policy change, tackling issues involving economic development, infrastructure, education and work force development, and taxes and legislation, said Phillip Prange, president and chief executive officer of the group.
