Doyles State of the State address will focus on economy

“It's not necessarily something that the state of Wisconsin can address, but it's something that is common to all states and something that certainly the federal legislature has to address”

Plans to boost Wisconsin's economy will dominate Gov. Jim Doyle's upcoming State of the State address, just as the region's paper industry is reeling from a devastating hit last week. via Green Bay Press-Gazette

Last weeks devastating news of the closure of New Page's, Niagara Wi. mill was hard on all of us in the community. I have a mom and a dad who work there. One has been there for 15 years and one has been there for 34 years. Its been really hard. I hope that there is a bright side to this in the near future for my parents and the othe 318 employees there and for the community.

No problem, just wait a few years and I am sure that Diamond Jim will have some new Indian Casino open in your town that will pay $8/hour while pouring millions into his coffers ...
