Scott Walker sweetens invite to over-taxed Illinois businesses

Wisconsin's reform governor is calling for Illinois business to cross the Cheese Curtain.

From CBS Chicago:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said he is inviting "hundreds" of Illinois manufacturers to a conference during the next month in Southeast Wisconsin that will have one purpose.

Walker said at a stop near Racine that Wisconsin has more to offer companies than Illinois does.

"Two years ago they (IL lawmakers) raised taxes on businesses 46 percent and they're headed in that direction," he said, saying Illinois’ pension problems will lead to higher taxes sooner than later.

Walker said another draw is Wisconsin's full manufacturing production tax credit that will grow to 7.5 percent by 2016, effectively wiping out their tax liability.

My advice to my fellow Illinoisans: Head north.
