Cozy (No Mystery)

Governor Walker in Pleasant Prairie (3/11/2011)
 

Gov. Walker to sign state budget on Sunday. (WKOW, 6/26/2013)

At Catalyst Exhibits in Pleasant Prairie.

As I always like to do in these situations, let's take a look at the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Follow the Money website.


Is Campaign Contribution to Walker Payback for Corporate Welfare? (PR Watch, 6/2/2012)

Excerpt:   Getting Catalyst Exhibits to come to Wisconsin was not cheap. Walker's administration lured them in with a half-million-dollar state grant and a $1.2 million low-interest loan from the Kenosha Area Business Association. A "relocation tax credit" bill sponsored by Racine Senator Van Wanggaard gave Catalyst Exhibits and its owners two years of tax-free living in Wisconsin by forgiving corporate and individual income taxes. 

At the time, some called the incentives "corporate welfare," and pointed out that the state was spending $500,000 plus two years of unpaid taxes to attract just over 100 jobs.
