So the campaign for governor has come to this:
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Republican candidate for governor Mark Neumann says his goal is to attracted 300,000 jobs in 10 years by working closely with University of Wisconsin campuses to attract more businesses and research.
Neumann unveiled his plan to create three "research triangles" that would match expertise on the campuses with businesses that create jobs.
Neumann says his plan can succeed even if the university's budget is cut as part of his plan to reduce the budgets of all state agencies. His plan even calls for offering a tax break to businesses that create jobs.
Neumann's Republican challenger Scott Walker says he can create 250,000 jobs in four years. Democrat Tom Barrett says his goal is to create 180,000 jobs in his first term.
Well, I guess I have to be for Neumann. He made fun of Walker when he announced his 250,000 job "plan," but now Neumann's got the biggest number. Unless Tim John, whoever he is, says he'll create some bigger number.
