The Change Wisconsin needs…

The power of creativity and innovation is now in the hands of the people of Wisconsin. The opportunity for Wisconsin to compete
with its neighbors for the cream of the crop in new jobs is now here – as is the opportunity to strengthen our ability to compete
in the new global marketplace. Going hand-in-hand with this bolstered competitiveness is the real chance to stop brain drain in
Wisconsin by strengthening an innovative state of education that create a work environment that keeps our best and brightest right here at home. The exodus of young, talented people to other cities and states can now be altered as Wisconsin’s economy becomes appealing to our children and their families. It will be a new kind of economy that sets the stage for new kinds of companies and businesses to start up right here and succeed right here. The best thing about this new economic initiative is that it can start to happen for the price of just half a cup of coffee. If we each invest just 56¢ more a year in the Wisconsin Arts Board, we can embolden the creative forces we need to compete and improve our quality of life. Today, we invest only 44¢, so this added 56¢ adds up to a $1 investment in the new economy by Wisconsin taxpayers. And it’s an investment that delivers a greater return than the hottest of stocks and companies.
