Minnesota capitalizes on Wisconsin GOP’s “Bad-for-Business” legislation
Border businesses at risk of leaving Wisconsin due to Republican interference

MADISON – As Wisconsin Republicans continue to rush legislation that reduces worker pay and decreases workplace safety, Minnesota is looking to capitalize. In a press release today, Minnesota's Job Growth and Energy Affordability Committee Chairman Rep. Pat Garofalo (R-Farmington) announced that he has “extended an invitation to two Wisconsin businesses offering assistance relocating their headquarters to Minnesota.”

According to Rep. Garofalo's statement, "Wisconsin's Right To Work legislation would negatively impact the private contracts between these companies and the unions they have voluntarily decided to partner with. It's heavy-handed and the wrong for Wisconsin to inject government into these private contractual relationships that has worked well for private companies for decades."

“I’m not surprised that Wisconsin businesses would look to leave our state as Gov. Walker and Republicans in the legislature continue to drive down wages, decrease workplace safety and weaken our middle class,” said Sen. Shilling. “The data and real life concerns from Wisconsin business owners and workers have been overwhelming. Businesses, especially those in the construction industry, need workers who are highly skilled and they don’t want government interference in their private business contracts.”

While Wisconsin Republicans have made deep cuts to schools and worker training programs, Minnesota took a different approach and invested in education, expanded access to affordable health care and raised their minimum wage to encourage economic growth. As a result, Minnesota is outperforming Wisconsin in terms of job creation, business climate and family income. And because of their growth, Minnesota has a $1.87 billion budget surplus while Gov. Walker and Legislative Republicans in Wisconsin are struggling to address a self-inflicted $2.2 billion budget deficit.....
