Excerpt: The idea of a Milwaukee-Chicago metroplex might be in its infancy but has influential supporters. It began with a 2012 study from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a global economic think tank based in Paris, which studied the "extreme fragmentation" in the Chicago-Milwaukee region.
The OECD found a welter of inefficiencies, duplication and jurisdictional rivalries — with Wisconsinites proudly poaching Illinois companies and balking at joint transportation policies — all of which undermine competitiveness in the broader metroplex.
