Business insiders rebuffed

3

. Blackhawk Technical College Referendum.  The referendum failed by a wide margin.  In Rock County, it was down 58.38% to 41.62% (11,367 to 8,104).  In much smaller Green County, it also failed, but by less, 50.55% to 49.45% (1789 to 1750).

In Rock County, this referendum didn’t fail because Republicans opposed it – it failed because Democrats and small-goverment conservatives saw through an attempt by a few to get a public subsidy for their businesses’ training needs (instead of paying themselves).

Results like this will happen in more and more places: voters will no longer be persuaded by unsubstantiated claims of ‘economic development’ benefits
