Open For Business

As these types of things go, it's a small announcement.  A Canadian company is moving some jobs across the line to Marinette, Wisconsin.  It's only about 15 jobs - so it's not exactly headline news.  But it's more important than just the 15 jobs.  It's a sign that more people in Madison are "getting it."  They get the need to make Wisconsin more business friendly.  There have been other examples in recent months - including FatWallet, the web-based business in Illinois that announced plans to move to Wisconsin a few weeks ago.  So while the announcement this week in Marinette may not have been the kind that makes headlines - it is the kind that helps set a tone.  And right now, that tone is increasingly positive for job growth.
