Overheard at the “Celebrating Scott Walker” Rally: The Illinois Jobs Wasteland

One theme that wove it’s way through the speakers at Saturday’s event was that Scott Walker has saved us from the fate of Illinois where they raised taxes and turned the state into a barren wasteland of opportunity.  It’s a good bedtime story for conservative children (like Jerrid), but the facts tell a somewhat different [...]
