Governor sends letter congratulating company on being named one of the Business Journal's "Best Places to Work." The company replied with a quite interesting letter of their own!
Quote:
Dear Mr. Scott,
On behalf of myself and my employees, we wanted to extend our sincere thanks to you for making this business possible. You and your team played a critical role in inspiring us to open our doors. As a former public school teacher, your legislation made abundantly clear how much you value the students and profession to which I had devoted my life. Had I not been stripped of my autonomy and respect as an educator, and had my school closed by budget cuts, I never would have decided to become a job creator, thereby earning the acknowledgement from our governor that I never saw after more than a decade of teaching.
I do work hard, though I work fewer hours than most of the dedicated teachers that you frequently demonize and undermine. I also work less hard than my wife, who owns more than half of the company and also did not receive commendation from you. On the up side, I have more time to devote to politics now, especially if you decide to pursue a third term as governor.
We won this accolade because we treat and compensate our employees fairly, and realize that they are responsible for our success. If you'd like to stop by, we'd be happy to show you that valuing employees (and people) is not only the right thing to do, but leads to growth, success, and respect.
Condolences on your failed presidential bid and lack of job creation.
Sincerely,
Ryan Clancy

Sounds like a win-win. Everyone does not have to agree with everything done.
**However - take note... the last sentence of the letter... Mr. Clancy ends with a snarky remark about a lack of job creation, when that's actually what Mr. Clancy did in opening his business - created jobs. Imagine that...
When you can get people that don't like you to unwittingly follow the plan, it's genius.

I think the fact that you had to go back a couple of months to find this tells me you are simply out to discredit Walker instead of simply acknowledging the truth that Walker is focused on creating jobs.
So you reference this article about Wisconsin job loss, hoping that people will just blame Walker.
However, the article states...
Gov. Scott Walker's Manufacturing Day tour of a Mequon factory came at the end of a tough week for local manufacturing. More than 100 temporary layoffs were announced at Joy Global in West Milwaukee, and GE announced it was shutting down production at its iconic Waukesha Engine plant and moving 350 manufacturing jobs to Canada.
The governor said his staff continues to have talks with GE.
“Just what sorts of things can we do in general, not just for the Waukesha site, but to keep GE and GE-related employees in the state,” Walker said.
GE said it's making the move because Congress did not renew the government's export-import bank, cutting off a financing source for the company.
Walker is working to try and keep the jobs that the Feds' policies are wiping out.
